The first image of the first file has a 1/2" chain repair link through the thimble and chain, the two halves of the repair link are welded together. I plan to do the same with the tube thimble and chain, it should fit ok in the repair link unless it's wider than the thimble on my chain now, in which case I may have to go with a 5/8ths repair link, and thread that into the 1/2 repair link - daisy chain if needed. Once I pound the two sides somewhat together, I'll use a "C" clamp to get them tight and arc weld the joint. These repair link are plenty strong.
