Husky 350 Silencer Support

[DB24]

I previously posted a thread regarding one of my silencer bolts snapping off on my Husky 350 (http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/41039-husky-350-silencer-bolt-snapped.html#post638025).

 

I decided that this may have been caused by the 350 not having a front mounted silencer support, unlike it big bros the 353 and 346XP.

 

I purchased a 353 silencer support (Husky part # 544 80 98-01) and found that it can be modified to fit the 350 as follows:

1) cut off the RHD leg, but keep the offcut to use as a lower spacer for the felling dog

2) bend the LHD leg in two places to offset the leg a few mm further to the left

 

The attached pictures show a standard 353 silencer support and it modified for use as a 350 silencer support. Note the offcut being used as a spacer for the lower felling dog screw.

 

I hope this might help someone else avoid having to extract a snapped off silencer bolt.
