Maybe the plastic can assist with a low-maintenance method of applying lubrication? Or a brush to clean off dust/grains? Not sure how over-engineered you want this to be, but it's possible and just might be very useful.Nathan Stewart wrote:The chain will be welded to the bar, the plastic is just to provide some twist resistance and may not be necessary. I got the fits ok now but without some sort of keeper I'm not sure how much good it's doing.
