Description
Overview:
This thrust plate is a Genuine Stihl OEM component designed for selected petrol hedge trimmers, including the HS 81 R and HS 81 RC.

Supplied under Manufacturer Part Number 4237 642 4801, it is intended for a direct like‐for‐like replacement with no modification to standard machines.
