You would need to do this via the variable you use with loadpdb.
p = loadpdb protein.pdb
bond p.117.SG p.129.SG
As far as I am aware of leap doesn't know of chain IDs (a real shame!)
but will simply renumber residues consecutively starting from the first
residue number it finds in the PDB. So it would probably be best to
first write out anoterh PDB first from leap to see what residue numbers
it generates and then adjust the bond commands accordingly.
Cheers,
Hannes.
