Bought one at Uttoxeter, & it was 106 links in the fitments book. Bargain at £15 as well, I think the traders were happy to sell anything.

Yeah usually a chain is too long when you buy it.
You can remove the extra links with a chain breaker, or if you don't have one of those, just grind the ends off the rivets.
