Stihl MS261 / MS362 Type II dual felling spikes

[ABarrick]

I recently picked up another 261 and quickly decided it needed a muffler mod and better spikes cause lord knows it won't cut stock lol. Tig'd on some stainless tube for the muffler but the oem 361R spikes that I usually use didn't really jive to me with the newer look. And apparently I had no will to do anything I actually should have done today, so, I figured I could come up with something oem looking similar to the newer style inner spikes that looked more modern than the 361/362r dual spike kit. I traced the hole offset from the 361 spike set onto paper and then hand drew the rest. Then photo copied it and cut out the paper pattern for inner and outer spikes. Transferred that to an old scrap aluminum road sign and with way too much time with a bandsaw and files, I've got a prototype set.

They seem sturdier than I anticipated but I doubt they would hold up to any real use due to what I made them out of. Plan is to use these as a pattern and get a few sets laser cut if the cost isn't astronomical.

Let me know if anyone is interested in a set. No idea what cost will be. If anybody knows of a good source to make these that would be appreciated. There is s local place that does laser cutting but this would be way small scale for them.

Looks nice!

And @Adirondackstihl has a guy making some husky spikes I wonder if he could squeeze these in?

Looks good. I like the bigger step.
Nice for out of position cuts.
If going to a shop find the break points.
Sometimes it can be a bunch!!

They look very close to what is on my 361-2's. Mine are a mix and match inner OEM with AM outboard. Me OEM one did not come on the saw from the factory.

Those are awesome. I have seen you post them before. Now I just have to pull the trigger on an order. You remember price? (I could use several sets)

Looks like I coulda saved myself some time...I like em. I assumed stihl was gonna come out with something but I couldn't find anything last time I looked for an updated set. Nice to know they're out there. Thank you.

You would have to pay shipping as I am in Wisconsin, but my brother in law has a cnc plasma table that can cut up to 5/8", I can find out how much he would charge to cut you a set if you wanted.
