My chains are still available as a backup plan in case this all falls apart.

United States Postal Service finally found the lost in transit chains and returned them to the Ebay seller. He in turn sent them to Ramsey Products and the engineers have had a look at them and HOT DAMN !! they can reproduce them. They've been ordered and will be in my hands along with the sample chains on May 27th.
So engineering change control now comes into play. We'll have to install the chains and monitor for wear, stretch and possible wear on the gear drive sprockets. Here's hoping the chains work out. Cost was $231.20 Canadian for the primary chain and $253.69 Canadian for the secondary chain, FOB Aurora Ontario.

That would be around $170 U.S. for the primary and $177 U.S. for the secondary. VERY INTERESTING

If the chains are of the same or greater quality than the originals, you have done all 1300 owners a tremendous service. Thanks for posting the engineering drawings of the primary and secondary chains as provided by Ramsey Products.
