Stihl 046 Hand Guard Needed

I'm looking for a Hand Guard for the 046 that is in good shape, the one on my saw has a crack in it and I would like to replace it. So if someone out there has a parts saw and is interested in selling the hand guard PM me with a price. Thanks.

Here is a pic of the crack in mine. I have used some glue on it but I don't expect it will hold.

I have used JB weld with some success on those cracks for a quick fix. Basicly mix enough to fill in the space behind the crack. Make sure to get any oil or dirt out first. Might try some and get some more use out of it before it breaks off completely.

A brand new one is only 25 bucks.

Thanks Jacob, I figured it would have been more. But if that is all it costs I will go with a new one. Where do you figure is the best place to get one online or go local? I haven't called the local on it.

Dadatwins thanks for the advise also, If the part was over $50 I would be giving the JB weld a try, but if it is going to be a cheap part I figure I might as well replace the part. Again thanks for the tip.

That hand guard will need to come from Stihl and they don't do online stuff.

Part #, I went and read the part # on mine and it reads 1128 792 9102, I noticed that there is one on ebay with the part # 1128 792 9100 and it is for a 044, the only part that is diff is the last 2 digits, but I am trying to get a repair manual and a parts list for this saw but dont have one right now. If anyone has a parts list will the 1128 792 9100 fit the 046? I emailed him and he says it has a few dings and scratch's (a new one will the first time you use it) but no breaks. Figure if I can pick it up for less than a new one then great.
