Hi Duncan,
I too have the GS mod, but don=92t recall any chain in my bits. Did GS 
give it to you in the kit? 
As for re-wirelocking, thats where those really expensive ones from ACS 
become handy, as there are two small wire pins you insert to lock it up. 
Worth the money. I=92m hoping I can fit them in directly onto shackle 
attachments to the main control attachment, the one sandwiched between 
the two triangular plates that support it to the aft internal bulkhead, 
that way they are as far forward as possible, and reachable too for 
adjustment. 
Regards
Tony Renshaw
