    Thanks to a member here, I got 3 bow bars in the mail today. You never know when you might need one.

    How do you figure out the no. of drive links? A piece of string around the edge then divide the length?

    I'm guessing maybe they say on them like other bars?

    Nice. They look like they should work out.

    I still gotta get a chain made for my bow bar. The easiest way is to take it to a shop with the saw you're gonna use it on and they can make one up for you on the spot. Then you can just count the links on the one that's made up and order new ones yourself. I had my bow bar (which was an NOS one for an old Homelite) modified to fit my 041AV Super.
