Timing chain clip for 1982/240D

[gavinbr]

Hello,

I plan on replacing my timing chain.

The question I have for the forum is, do i rivet the timing chain link or "C" clip/spring clip the chain together?

I have the workshop manual and they suggest using the spring "C" clip syle and not riveted, also please see ................

IWIS[chain manufacturer] suggest it can be done one of three ways??

I purchased my chain from Rock Auto and is the same one sold by the BenzBin and Rusty's at a substantial discount.

Comments and suggestions appreciated
