Desperate for a screw!! (Loggers Tape)

[Andy Collins]

3 to be precise, though a couple of spares wouldnt go amiss. They are the little tiddly screws that go around the edge of the Stihl loggers tape. Now I dont know if there is a difference between Stihl tapes and the other makes, or if they are just badged Stihl and all parts are the same. BUT I'm desperate to get my tape working for next week's assault, so Help Me Please, dealers or other, dont care.

by the looks of it Andy, the Stihl is a rebranded Spencers tape as seen here

Thanks, might be useful to know, they're the little screws around the perimeter.

replace with a husky!!!!!! so much better built the stihl ones because they are more exposed they get so much crap caught in and the return ends up lagging ive found anyway.

 

the husky ones all the stuff is protected the return is brilliant on the tape and the needle allways goes in and never pops out like ive found with the stilhs....

 

And lets face it in genral husky is WAYYYY better than stihl or is it??

Interesting; about to buy a few tapes and would have gone for the Spencers (price mainly) but if Husqs are that much better...
