Original Campag C10 chain

I've got an unused original Campag C10 chain which I now want to use. It had a permalink for which I don't have the tool, so I tried to use a KMC Missing Link. The problem is that the 5.88mm link is too narrow - I think the original C10s were about 6.1 or even 6.2mm. Which link will work safely with this chain?

    Open a rivet and close it... much simpler

    Don't know that I'd feel safe with that. Are Campag rivets re-insertable? Anyway, there must be a link of the right size.

    Ignore Ugo. He seems to have a peculiar phobia about quicklinks. Quite how faffing around with chain tools is simpler than just fitting a quicklink I don't know but anyway.

    I'm sure you can get links of the correct size - I had bother getting the narrow ones! Possibly the Shimano ones are wide enough.

    Yup, KMC links are available in 2 widths for 10 speed.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
