Fitting quick link to campag chain

possible to remove link from campag chain with a standard high quality chain splitter, then fit a quick link? For the other chain (KMC) no problem that came with a quick link.
Say... That's a nice bike..

KMC do quick links specifically for Campag chains.
This ok?

oh I've probably done about 1500 miles, still ok to use a new quick link?

I find these impossible to fit and remove by hand though so had to spend £20 or so on the fitting/removal tools as well (unlike the SRAM links I've used with shimano chains which are a doddle to connect/re-connect by hand).

10 speed ones are slightly cheaper as linked above.
And I'm pretty sure you'll be fine using a new link on a 1500 mile chain.

correct interweb search technique for bike parts:
1 check wiggle
2 check ribble
3 check pbk
4 check for usable wiggle/ribble/pbk discount codes/offers
5 see if it's cheaper elsewhere, start with google shopping
6 now, and only now, do you look on ebay, although google shopping should index it in 5
Looks like I'll leave it until the supplied Campagnolo needs replacing.

but if kmc don't say it, i agree not worth tempting fate

As to fitting the KMC ones - a small allen key between the rollers and wiggled fits them - removing them (at least for the first time) works with a pair of thin pliers to push the quick link rollers towards each other and finger pressure on the plates. Usually seems to work!

Just use it. Also its usefull to get the re-userable ones so they can be easerly broken and fitted by hand - just squeese the plates together and i becomes easy. Makes chain cleaning easy...
Our US site has it listed:

Why not? What if your chain breaks while you're out on a ride?
The only chain tool I carry is a breaker on my multitool. That and a quicklink are the easiest solution. You actually carry your Campag chain tool around with you on rides?
