Gents is there a way to modify the alarm end of a Korda Black and White bobbin chain so I can screw it in to a female 2BA thread. The chains come with a push and click fit and I want to change 3 of them so I can fit them to my Jag snag bars.
There's a little pin that locks the chain into the push fit spiggot and I'm guessing I need to knock that out to release the chain and refit it to a new threaded end?
Maybe there's someone that can do this far quicker than me faff about with three of these.
Any advice appreciated.

I think your theory is right, maybe Keith @ Defiant MPS could adapt them for you. Maybe even get in touch with Korda and see if they'll supply the 2ba threaded adapter. I was looking at the Jag Safeliner the other day and while it uses a screw instead of pin its much the same.

you won't be able to knock the pin out of the black and whites. one end has a head on it, and the other end is peened into place. when I converted mine to M5, I just cut the chain as close to the adapter as possible, then put the M5 male in place and inserted the pin.

Thanks fellas, cutting the chain sounds the way forward. Where can I buy the new black male end which presumably will need a new pin which I'm hoping comes with it?

Could that burred end not be taken off carefully removed using a Dremel? Then just slide the pin out.

I had a quick look round but couldn't find anything. Apart from contacting Korda maybe you could cannibalise a cheap chain set of eBay etc.
