    Are there any? I could do with fitting a chain post haste and do not posses
    one.

    I'm not sure if the chain I'll get will have one. I had one and it turns
    out the chain is way too small but the sprockets are the right size! It had
    a split link. I just don't know if the size of chain I would need would
    come with one so I could at least get the fecker on the bike.

    Cut off the old one with an angle grinder or Dremel. Assemble the new
    one and squeeze the side plate on with Mole grips, then wedge a lump
    hammer or something equally massive behind the link and mushroom the
    ends of the pins with a small ball-pein hammer.

    Or get a man in.

    Hammer-arranging - the rufty bikers alternative to flower arranging.

    Sounds like my centre punches are the way to go. Thanks Champ.
