Changing from d176 to d009

I think it would be too large. What diameter are the studs on 176 and what diameter do they need to be for the 009 bar?

To make a D009 bar fit on D176 bar bolts, the spacers should be about 8 mm inner diameter and 9 mm outer, based on the nominal measurements - but I would measure the actual items involved before doing anything.
Anyway, what is pictured is way too large and thick - and I suspect "S-clip" adapters are more practical than rings with a difference as small as in this case - as you will have troble finding something suitable to cut rings from. Finding a halv mm or so thick metal plate to cut a suitable strip from likely is easier, and then bend it into shape?

So IF the studs are 3/8, and I file down the stock tube I showed, it SHOULD work, make it a good tight (but moveable) fit. I almost thought about same stock in aluminum but wasn't sure what beating it can take

The studs on a D176 mount are 8mm, and D009 are 9mm, as Sawtroll said. I have used a strip of 0.5mm sheet steel and just wrapped it around the studs, works fine for me. See http://www.arboristsite.com/communi...chinese-g621-clone.253359/page-9#post-4777531 for where i got the idea 
That is great Chris. What was that flat metal from?

3/8" is about 9.5 mm, so no-go.

That's exactly what the S clipsdo except they are shaped as an S.

It's a stainless strip from an old wiper blade - they're all a bit different. I remove them before throwing out the blades.
This one was still just a little too thick so I had to sand it down slightly.
I was going to make an S but realized it would hit the bar plate screw on this saw.

Yes - and the actual shape may depend on which "obstacles" are present between the bar studs on the saw in question.

I've collected quite a few on old Poulan 3400's I've bought in the past. Guess previous owners liked the D009 mount though I do recall seeing them on some other manuf. bars whose names escape me right now.

Yes, it is far from a new idea - it was quite common a few decades ago, then in factory form.

I used recoil spring. Works great.

It's probably just the right thickness - a little thinner than what I used.
The world is full of useful parts that simply need to be liberated from whatever thing they are part of now.

I have some s clips and spring style left but I have used the recoil spring in the past and it worked perfectly...this is one of the reasons I always have a couple throw away saws sitting around.
