|  Aligning link ends?
How do you guys align links ends to face the proper direction? If I just screw them in it's very rare they line up properly. If they're 1/4 turn off I don't want to force them another 3/4 turn ans strip the plastic, but if I back them off 1/4 turn they're loose..?

No...try putting a really thin washer between the link end and the link. Make sure when doin this, that you don't make one longer than the other. I think over tightening is a better option than leaving them slightly loose. If they aren't tight, they will strip out faster.
