Bar Mount Adapters- educate me on the topic

[EchoShindaiwaMakitaDolmar]

I've got an Echo 620p and it has an Oregon bar mount type D176. I'd like to convert it to D009 Hoosky/Dolkita. Who are the go to manufacturers of adapters? Educate me on this topic!

Thanks

He’s the man for adapters and chain vises.

Wouldn't be hard to make your own.

There is an adapter for D176 to the D025 stihl mount . The problem with going to D009 mount is, 8.2mm to 9mm not alot of material to get between the studs and the bar.
Most people just use a peice of broken recoil spring to make their own adapter. Heat up with a little propane torch and bend a little figure 8 to get fancy to drop on to bar studs.

I used brass tubing on mine.

Going forward, ECHO should make a running change to the 620p models- use the same 9mm studs that are on their 7310p models. But that wouldn't help us current owners.

Wish I could claim it was mine.
Homelite bars used to be sold with such a little adapter for the difference between the 3/8ths and 5/16ths studs.

Make custom bar studs , convert Your saw to 9mm studs and negate the need for bar adapters.

Follow Sondre's lead!
Or utilize a strip of 0.5mm stainless steel bent into a figure 8.

All good suggestions above.

The screw ms hole don’t perfectly up, but this flawlessly converted my Echo CS-800P to a Stihl D025 mount:

File it to fit your bar stud’s spacing carefully for a couple of minutes - it’s meant for a Husky whose studs are slightly differently spaced - and you’ll have the perfect adapter that press-fits onto the saw. I never had to worry about falling when removing a chain in the bush.

Just throwing an option out to convert the saw to the most popular mount in the USA.
