Thanks Mattyo. Say are you referring to the one close to the rear of the chain drive, mounted inside the chain brake assembly cover? If so they would be easy to make and install.now...if ya could just fabricate those pesky rubber chip deflectors as well that are NLA .....
nice job to the OP!
I'll look it up to see what it would take, thanks for the tip.
Does it look like this?
It was on a Husqvarna 61. I own one, a guy on another forum needed a new brake band (nla) and a local friend of mine needed one for the same saws. Made a deal with a guy on the other forum, he sent me his old parts so I could fabricate a new band, then attaching it with rivets to his existing old parts. Shipped them back out to him yesterday. I think I could make different ones for other saws if there was a need. I would just have to figure out a cost effective price, as titanium is a bit pricy but works the best. I could make them from other materials just would not be as good.
Yes I was going to ask about that. Where or how does it mount? Do the retaining bumps go into slots utilizing one screw to hold it all in place? At any rate this would have to be a molded part, that means a mold would have to be built out of aluminum, two part mold, male and female ($$$), using a release agent once the injection process was complete to remove the finished part. Also you would either have to melt rubber or use a two part mix type rubber to inject into the mold under pressure, more $$$, more tooling, so I don't know how much of a market there would be for it and would it be worth the cost of tooling up for it when only fitting one saw. If it were to be just cutting a piece of rubber it would have been simple, but this is another ball game all together. There might be a way around all of this though, using aluminum sheet metal and rubber combined or 3D printing one, of which I built and run 3 3d printers.
