I'll get some pics tomorrow afternoon. Oh! Before I forget, anyone have a chain they'd recommend? I came into this hobby with a loathing hatred for clip-link chains (which is what the PO shipped me), from my time on bicycles; I have an appropriate chain rivet tool, and no issues with being patient, methodical and step by step in replacement procedures. I do all my own car work, some of it on diesels.
