If its brass, then I can file a little at a time.
So don't use a master link and then make the chain to size? Won't it stretch?
They're horizontal. Look at the shape of them. The filled in part is horizontal or semi-horizontal. If it doesn't point straight up it's considered a horizontal dropout. You can file the whole thing out and it will be a normal dropout.
