Hi all,

For the fixation of my MLRS to the Franziska SLT trailer bed I ordered a superb set of MR Modellbau chains.
Good stuff, I managed to drill tiny hole to put all parts together.
But...............there are a few claws to shorten chains.
I, however, do have not the slightest clue how these are fixed to the chains and how they function.

Anybody out there how can fill my gap of knowledge?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Not sure if I can find a picture but it's a means to remove a large portion of slack in the chain that can't be accomodated by the tightening mechanism. I think it is attached somewhere the tensioner and the one end is like a claw and fits on a chain link parallel to the face of the claw. Something like that.
