Ivano,
Hey, check out this website. www.hobbyparts.com.au. It has some beautiful link chains that might work. The smallest pitch however is .123" and that might be slightly oversized?

Dear friends,i can finally tell you the final price of the engine.Today received the final cost estimate for white metal and photo etched parts. Unfortunately,the cost is higher than anticipated.The details are many and the costs have increased.But not by much! The price is not more than what is already on the market.
Some parts will only be made in 3D.I thought to help modelliti interested,to do two prices. Parts MDF laser cut,resin parts cloned and 3 D,white metal parts,photoetched,
bearings,decals and steel plate,a price.Bolts,nuts,threaded rods and tubes,a separate price. Bolts and nuts are more than 300. I do not gain anything,who wants to can buy them where he wants. I will provide a detailed list of what is needed.Within a few days i communicate to all those who have contacted me prices.If you forget someone please contact me again.Belive me,ican not do better.I hope you understand!
Many thanks to all of you. Ivano
