Commando primary chain

Forums

I have been looking on line for the specs on a Commando primary chain. The ones I see are Renold. I think they are 3/8" pitch triple row with flat side plates, so that it can run on a slipper tensioner. Exactly how wide, and how many links?

There are a lot of poor quality triplex chains around. I believe the original ones are no longer available and sadly Renolds chain isn't what it used to be.

A lot of people are now fitting duplex chains, I believe originally designed for Mercedes diesel engines. They get good reviews from people who have fitted them and are availabel from the "Chain Man".

Chainman +1, Andy is retiring but passing the business on. I run the big pin Merc duplex primary and the simplex version on the timing chain.

How many links on a Commando primary chain?

There are people using Tsubaki, but I have no idea how good they are
