Where can I get a 16" 3/8" x 0.046 ripping chain loop

[Walney Col]

As in the title... I'm after a 16" 3/8" x 0.046 ripping chain loop for my Makita UC4041A electric chainsaw.

I've looled on chainsdirect.co.uk and of course ebay and I can find loads of chains with 1.3 1.5 and 1.6mm gauge, but not one at 1.1mm (0.046") which is what I need. Of course it's possible that they don't make ripping chains for small electric saws and I'll wind up filing one to suit but I thought it worth asking in case someone knows a source I don't.

Suspect you may be right about their not being made for smaller saws, but a couple of guys who seem to provide a good selection of chains are Mistersolutions on Ebay and Terry Bass saws in Hereford. The Ebay one is usually one of the cheapest. Terry Bass is possibly more knowledgeable, at least on the 'phone.

Thanks Dick, the MisterSolutions one sells the size chain I want but not a ripping one so it looks like I may have to have a bash at filing one myself.

Just noticed your location - couple of other ideas MIGHT be Forestry Commission folk in Grizedale, or if they still exist, Kendal Tools and Machinery in, oddly enough, Kendal.
