[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 102464, member: 49"] Somewhere under my bench in a plastic-bag I have a short piece of NEW Tsubaki triplex ([I]automotive[/I] quality) about 4 links long. It has jet black side-plates - slightly thicker than current ones - and the pins are copper-plated on the ends (unlike current ones). It was given to me by Bob Dunn decades ago. Car buffs would know for sure, but I seem to remember that it was used in restoring Jaguar cars of around 1960s vintage (cam drive chain?). Tsubaki chain is well-made, widely available and of good quality; investing in some is no bad thing. But it is no longer made to the same standards as the old [I]automotive[/I] stuff which gave it it's good name. Vibrac is right about my dates above - they're way off; geez where did the time go? There are many people on here who will still remember my first chaincase/crankcase explosion (Renold split rollers) at the German Rally - that must have been around 1981... I worked all weekend on it and got it going OK for the uneventful trip home - thanks to Kurt Schupp loaning me the whole of the drive-side of his Lightning... Peter B [/QUOTE]
