Most bikes of the era use a 219 chain but that size comes in a number of different "strengths". Some use thicker side plates and so have longer pins. Some use thicker pins, so if you buy a link, make sure it is the right size. And if you can find one with a clip and not rivet, it's OK to use it.

Yeah no that's pretty much the sum of it. Any or all of the above are almost guaranteed - but if I can get in and out with only one of those things then I'm ok with that 8)Popeye SXM said:.... what is the werst that can happen?, apart from the cut fingers lost money and extreme frustration?
