Windsor Speed-Tip 26" Bar assistance

[Blade]

Guys I'm just seeking some information regarding a customers 26" Windsor bar.

Customer brought in a Windsor Speed-Tip 26" pro bar (3/8" x 058").

He has it fitted to a Husky 385xp and wanted a new chain. I'll be honest and say I haven't seen a 26" bar for maybe 10 to 15 years or more (very uncommon bar size in Australia).

Making up the chain is no problem, however I'm a little unsure of the correct number of drive links, as the customer had thrown out the old chain.

From memory I believe 26" bars fitted to a large mount Husky's ran 93 drive links, but with Windsor as a company being long gone, I don't even have an old catalogue I can reference any longer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

26EM58STA book says it takes 89 dr. link chain. Attached is a 2009 Windsor catalog. Page 37 Husqvarna bar chain info.

93dl (or 92) is for what is usually referred to as 28" bars - but they really are shorter, likely around 27".

Should be 6 or 7 drivers hanging off the bar tail end of the loop
7 usually for an 8 pin
