The Chainsaw Pic Thread

Most expensive caps on earth I imagine.
Farmertec includes them on their MS290 replacement crankcases which for some reason cost twice as much as any of the others and despite my offer to buy 2000 of them at whatever price they wanted to name, they wont/can't sell them separately.
So after shipping and customs they run me about $48.00 for a pair, but they are flippy caps that don't flip, you just twist them in and they lock.
no idea what is really going on in regards to this but they look cool on a saw and we all know looking cool makes a saw fast and powerful

That seems really odd they won't sell them. I think they are missing the boat on that. Usually China will never pass up the chance to make some money.

Dex got a thread on them on my site. Gregg was having them made up way back when.

Dont know if they ever made it for sale individually or not through Gregg.

Thread dates back to 2011 http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/stihl/video-of-the-stihl-flippy-cap-replacements/

video from thread, 3 pages worth

Gregg said in the thread, the ones he has been having made are in route to him right now with some other prototype parts too.

Thanks again. They say it's what's on the inside that counts . . . and I got the insides from you.
