I've go an old 028 WB that i put a new piston in....it didn't have any chain brake parts in it so i bought some off ebay. Got the parts and they don't fit. I assume there were a couple models of the 028??

I have an old 028AV, it is different than the WB or Super. I know the dust cover is diff, I am not sure about the internals. I will take a look at it when I head to the shop.

There are at LEAST two and you cannot upgrade the old version to a chain brake...

028 chain brake
the early 028's did not have chain brakes they had a movable spring loaded handguard that looks like a brake handle. the pivot pins a on the saw if you want to add one. there are a few types of brake parts for these saws there was a kit avaiable to convert them. you need the correct type to match the saw. the guard handle won't work with the brake set up. you can tell its not a brake handle by looking @ the lower right side of handle above the bar cover, and it is all plastic, without 2 screws

That's what i've got, the pivoting hand guard....
I knew i'd have to get the other style handle, with the two screw holes.
But the band i got doesn't work on this saw. So, i'm off to find another one.

Does anyone know the part number for the older 028 WB chain brake band?
my local dealer only shows one band. and thats the wrong one.
