got one in bits at present, chain wouldn't stop no matter how low the tickover,[older model no chainbrake] thought it might be busted springs, but turned out to be one of the linings has detached from its shoe and jammed between the drum and the next shoe, can It be ran without any linings, it does work with one missing but plenty other saws run metal to metal, just thinking this might be ok doing the same?

seems to be plenty of drums available from the usual sources but not clutches them selves, I'm wondering would it be possible to glue/bond it back on, its intact and undamaged.

I don't see why not, the only problem might be high temperature if stall the chain regularly, lacking a chain brake means that being applied will not be a problem.

Try a bit of JB weld or any other high temperature epoxy. I did this on my Qualcast mower years ago and that is still going strong. I think I just used araldite on that.

Clean both surfaces and degrease with brake cleaner.

I looked online for a dedicated adhesive for bonding linings,, this came up,,Henkel Loctite Teroson SB PL605-4 Black is a one component, thixotropic, solvent-based, heat curing adhesive. It features excellent resistance to chemicals, thermal shock, and water, as well as withstands temperatures exceeding 315.5 °C. Ideal for bonding clutch, break, and other friction materials to metal.

but as the price is somewhat prohibitive ,,[think both kidneys,spleen,liver, heart, and anything else that be salvaged],,

I guess I'll be using a proprietary two part bonding adhesive such as araldite, or similar.

thanks for the help fellers👍

The JB weld high temp spud suggested is less than a tenner, ordinary araldite breaks down at less than 100C so probably worth getting the high temp stuff.

I was thinking this one?

That's the stuff
