Can you get 3/32" chain with this kind of joining link?
Yep. My KMC z610hx comes with one. Singlespeed/hub gear specific though.

Thanks to all who replied. I'll probably get one of those KMC chains, pinch the master link, but use the chain itself for another bike - the sync chain is longer than a normal chain so otherwise I'd have to get two and throw away a perfectly good sync chain.
Half term's when the traffic becomes mysteriously less bad for a week.
How tight does the chain really need to be? If you don't mind the very slightest hint of slack, it's pretty easy to de-rail 3/16 chain by hand when need be. And so long as the chain line is straight, I can't see why this should cause problems. This was the solution when we got our S&S-coupled tandem, anyway -- am I asking for trouble?
