Stihl heated handles

[jmester]

Has anyone found a good way to reattach the heating element in the rear handle.

It has a stickie backing when new.

I feel once pulled off. Its not going to stick any more.

Maybe double sided tape?

I thought about that. But the service manual wants a tight bond to the rear handle. As the element can overheat and burn out

Maybe crazy glue or gorilla glue.

I was wondering about 3m spray adhesive. Like for headliners.

 

[ManiacalMark]

I don’t think spray adhesive would be strong enough

 

[jmester]

Your probably right. There was a thread on one of the forums a few years back. That a guy was reattaching the heating element. With success. I remember reading it, but I sure cant find it now

A thin layer of clear silicone calk. We use it all the time to attach hard plastic labels on outside electrical boxes. It sticks really good and is flexible to withstand vibration and heat cycling.

Do you have any specific recommendations?

Just get a tube of 100% silicone from the hardware store. The kind that goes in a caulking gun.

Get a new one from stihl
All the same
Not much from dealer

Silicone often gets a bad rep for not sticking stuff, the thing is that silicone really needs the surfaces to be overly clean of all contamination, one needs to work diligently to get the surfaces super clean and dry before applying the product. That does not mean one can swipe a finger or thumb over the part and that be good enough, just remember squeaky clean and dry.

Even the stuff comes in the small rtv size tubes.

Hey everyone!

I have the part number 1128 434 5000 for the 064/066/660 rear handle heating foil.
Can You Stihl-heads check whether this is the current part number and if there is a newer one please post it!

Thank You very much!

No, you are good to go.

My 044 was loose. So I used a bit of foam to hold it in place. Also one of the wires came off while I was faffing around. I had to solder it back on.
I didn’t want to pay the silly price they charge here. I have to pay the vat. So it’s. £34.64

Cool, thank You.

My Stihl dealer doesn't have the part number in their system.

There's some on eBay in Germany. Not very cheap.
