Want to Sell Stihl 090G / Contra Lightning G, Bar cover

[nstueve]

I would post this same information on other chainsaw threads. There are at least three others but can't directly post them b/c AS is a pita about sharing direct links to competitor sites.

As others have said the price is a determining factor. I have a need for 2 and I can always assure you an additional 2-3 after I make a phone call. That would be 5 right there. The quality looks outstanding to me. I wonder if you could cast the tube muffler I have for the Contra G/090G ? It would be a lot less material

 

[sawfun]

I would buy a couple as well.

Hello Scallywag....Have you got these for sale yet. You offered this sprocket cover to me and also a exhaust for my contra g many months ago and then stopped answering my emails....Are they available for sale yet....Or even better does anyone out there have any original contra g parts for sale.....Cheers Rob

 

[Bill G]

I hope they are able to be made. I believe the demand would be very high

[busybob]

Yes asking you for pricing several times....Email sent to your hotmail address. Phil...Heres the list below


1 x sprocket cover

1 x exhaust

1 x fan shroud

1 x correct full wrap handle when you have made them.

I have NO emails from you after the 8th November!.. Seeing that you have chosen to put my full name into an open forum please feel free to load the contents of said emails!
If you bothered to read my post # 10 in this thread of November 11th you will read I said the process needs refining!! ie. I wasn't happy with the weight of the first cover when it came out of the mould. modifications have had to be made to the core sample to make the copies lighter. These modifications have now been completed.

You have my phone number, why didn't you just call me for an update??

 

[busybob]

Sorry I dont have your phone number....Anyway I can see where this is going so lets just forget the whole thing and I will source parts somewhere else....

My phone number is in my email to you dated November 2nd 2014!

I wish you every success in finding the parts you need !

 

[Bill G]

I am not going to get into this derail. In any event Phil where does it stand now ? I believe you have a product that you can sell in decent numbers

 

[scallywag]

Apart from working on the core sample to try and reduce the weight I also found that the shape of the bar mount area was virtually impossible to pour and achieve a satisfactory result. Due to the area having no taper whatsoever, this area has now been built up and greatly oversized and now includes a taper that will allow the copy to be removed from the mould easily. Likewise all other surfaces ie. structural webbing on the back of the cover have again been built up to a minimum of 3 mm with a taper hand sanded onto these surfaces.

The next job will be casting a cradle to accept the cover and present the bar mount area horizontally to the mill, as it would simply take to much time to set up each one for machining, remembering that I'm doing ten at a time.

 

[scallywag]

When the machining is complete these covers will be as close as possible to the original!... And stronger as they will be heat treated prior to machining.

 

[Steffen]

This is great work! Now i just need a 090 or Contra G to put it on ;-)

 

[scallywag]

It's been awhile but I finally found sometime to work on these covers!......I've got the weight down from 900 grams to 500 grams and with the final machining I think it will come down a further 200-250 gms.

Here's the first one out of the mould today.

 

[Derf]

Wow! That looks amazing, what is your previous experience with this sort of stuff? You're going to powder coat them yourself or send them out?

Now that's a good question!....I hadn't thought of the finish as yet.........My previous experience with casting parts?.......Not very much!... These covers just can't be found, so I thought I'd have a go at making them.

When are you expecting to go to market ?

When are you expecting to go to market ?

A month or two at best, I'll make a batch of ten , four are already pre-sold.

 

[William Balaska]

Nice work. It's a week point of the saw and is going to make more than a few people happy.
