Shimano Link Lock
I got these from a fellow who had a pile of oddities (9 speed ceramic pulley wheels?). I was told that they were for the Uniglide chains.
I cannot ascertain if they will work on anything else (like Hyperglide or freewheel chains).
Further I don't know what speed chains they'd work with. Per Velobase they were simply recorded as "1980's".
I can find nothing else on the internet or even here.
I'd prefer not to have to mount them unless I know they will work as seems a shame to waste NOS parts.
Does anyone have any experience with these and do you know what chains they will work with??

3/32 link should work on 5/6 speed stuff, both are probably originally for BMX chains which often use 3/32 for Micro, mini, jr and 1/8 for most other chains.

Probably a stupid question, but would you remove two links to install these or just insert them with the current length and just remove the pin that's installed now?
