Adding links to an existing tire chain

[Pks]

Has anyone here ever added cross links to tire chains? I have a set that has a 4 link spacing. I'd like to add cross links in order to have a 2 link spacing.

Thanks.

There is a tool to spread the ends of the cross links, so that you can move or add them. Going from 4 link to 2 link means alot of work, though. First you need a supply of cross links the exact size to add.
What size are your tires?? It might be cheaper to buy a new 2-link set. There are some good deals on ebay if your tires aren't too tall.
Here are some links (no pun intended) to the tools and cross links you would need:
