The Holy grail?

[Trailoftears]

So much for gayways,bar in stock.So ordered-£49.00-a tad steep,8.95 delivery!V.steep.....All goes quiet for a bit,email today,so sorry,but wont have bar till feb 23,would you like to lock into this price till then?Methinks not...🙄

I notice husky do appropriate 18" bars with the correct pitch and gauge-.325/1.3mm which is v.exciting,but will I be caught out by the bar mounting conundrum? 🤔

No worries mate,as I complained about in my earlier post, I'm deeply suspicious that there's any such thing as a standard rollomatic 18" bar with .325/1.3mm gauge!Could be wrong tho......

I don't think there is, standard rollomatic are 1.6 which is what all Stihl .325 and 3/8 were until they brought out the Light04. Exception for lopro 3/8.

 

If you can't find a Light04 then maybe you can find Sugi or Oregon speedcut version, both make  .325 050 versions.

So no chance of an 18" husky bar with the right stats fitting a ms261 then?

You can even buy a rotatech bar and chain for £33 on fleabay.

Cheers,the chains I have,no shortage of stihl chains at all,and I have nothing bad to say about rotatech chains,I buy them in pairs for my ms180-possibly they stretch a bit when new.But I'd like a quality bar to go with the stihl chains.The  light 04 is not happening till nxt feb.Sugihara lights are equally rare.Weird and disconcerting given its hardly an obscure length bar.I'm guessing its the 1.3mm gauge thats the difficult bit.....

We do only have the one and you are right, no more until Feb at the earliest. I have put it out of stock for you and I can hold it until the weekend if you still want it. It's best to give us a call on 0151 345 9971 or drop us an email [email protected] as you wont be able to purchase it direct from the site (due to me putting it out of stock) or you can PM me and I will restock it for you.

 

As supplies have been so poor over the last 3 years we have live stock levels on our web site, we do get caught out now and again but very, very rarely, mainly due to inputting the wrong stock level or in some unfortunate cases due to light fingered shoppers! What we definitely don't do is deliberately advertise products as in stock when they aren't. That wasn't usually a problem in the past as most of us dealers could get stock next day from the suppliers but that has well and truly gone out of the window as I'm sure most people who order online will have found out. From what I hear it wont get much better for at least the next 6 months or so. For the end user Its always worth  having a bit of extra stock of the main consumables, chains, files, oils etc, they are always required and its no good having to mess about trying to get hold of a chain or a pack of files for the next job.

 

Another couple of items that have been really bad to get hold of are batteries and chargers, I know most people don't want a second charger but these have been hard to get hold of over the last year or so and some batteries are still out of stock for at least 3-4 months. They are brand specific so there is no chance of getting something that 'will do the job for now'

 

If you don't need the bar could you also please let me know.

£45.95 Inc the vat for the bar, postage should be £4.95 but it may be more of your in northern Scotland, Ireland etc. If you click on the link I posted add the 16" bar to your basket, go into your basket and then input your post code and it will show you the postage cost. If it is £4.95 postage it will drop to free if you spend £100 or over.
