Quick one here - when did they stop making 051s (not including the brazilian MS051)? 1985 ish?

051 AVE/ 051 AVEQ was still listed in the model line up 1987-9 "Product Information Guide" as used by UK and Irish dealers.

1989 as far as my stihl guys knows... mine is circa 1972, has only burnt 2-3 gallons of fuel and used one sprocket.

im stihl looking for a chain brake conversion kit for mine, id also buy good 076 p/c combo...
