While working on a friends "S" MS390 , I has the bar off and thought to try the fit on my SXL AO parts saw . The D025 has a 12mm slot , but the oil hole lines up well
with the SXL oil slot and the chain adjuster pin fit the hole in the bar perfectly ( ! ) . I found some 12mm OD / 10mm ID tubing and cut some spacers , but there was too
much slop . Next , I made a "S spacer " out of a thin strip of 18 gauge ( 0.050" thick ) sheet metal , which worked well . I tried the D025 bar on my 360 and with some
work on the a chain adjuster and different spacers , it should work . Next , on my Super 1050 Auto , the oil slot is too high to line up and the tail is too narrow to drill a new
oil hole . I might try to make a new inner chain guide plate with some creative oil slots ! This , along with the "H" bars , gives an additional source for large bars .
