Chains can be made as it's easy to do when you have the right equipment. I'm
sure a motorcycle shop or engine builder can tell you where to purchase them
or have them custom made. The bigger item is the guides and tensioners but
those can probably be remanufactured with new rubber unless the metal is
fatigued.
