Import of differing parts occurs. A Big Mac is not the same in the USA as in Europe. Coke is different in every country. All kinds of temporary imports occur with Stihl parts.
I ended up with 3 of these bars that were all bolted to 026 pros that I had bought over the years, so I search eBay for 026s in hopes of finding more lol
I do not know. But, Stihl is changing MANY things. More info can be found by contacting a European dealer like Gustharts which is where I get many of my niche Stihl stuff such as my FG2.
