Was going to shorten a chain today and got it popped apart and shortened but dont have the right size presets 
had two to do for the guy and it dont look like thats gonna happen for a few days now..have to stop by the shop and get some monday if they are open.
if it was my chain i would drill out the holes and use what i have but it aint mine.
thats about all i have done in over a week now ??

Hey marc.
First clean up the plastic real good with hot water. Scrub it down goos with a scotch pad. Then get a good sharp razor blade and start scrappinng all the old crud/plastic off. Dont be afraid to get in there. The razor blade is probably the biggest part of the process.
After you get about every area done with the razor, get some 200,600,1000 grit sandpaper. Make sure its wet/dry sandpaper. And wet sand all of the peice. be sure to wipe it down with a rag peridiocally. After you finish off with the 1000 grit paper wide it down and put it close the wood stove, not close enough to melt the plastic! Just enough to get it warmed up. Then get some clear coat spray paint (the good kind) and spray thin even coats of the clear coat. Set it in front of the stove again to dry and repeat the process one more time... good as new
it took me maybe 5-6 hours to do my 046. Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk

Look close at second pic,you can just see the wire at the bottom of the handle were it joins the flat bottom part.
some epoxy as filler then dress it it up and paint and be stronger than new and nobody would notice.
Yep that will be no problem to fix.
