View attachment 428217 Well I found a metal flag on eBay for 21$. So I drove to mentone to an old saw shop usually they are quite rude unless you are buying a new saw, but today they were nice there was an old 61 on the table and I said that brake set up is what I need he says I'll go out back and see what I got, usually they don't have time, he came back with a 266 we 1984 carcass 25$ sold with a complete brake assy yeah...View attachment 428217

Kewl as all get out! That is about the only way to find one now, a NOS one would be very scarce, they are out there but not seen often.

It was Perry Pioneer's 266 I was talking about the finish of, not yours.

Of course I know of the different brake handles, what I was commenting on in the last part of my post was the clutch covers themselves - not the brake handles.

I would take the plastic brake handles over the metal ones any day - for anything else than a pure collectors piece (but I am not a collector).

Sorry Nikko, thought you were referring to my old saw, I havn`t seen a plastic clutch cover yet.

Yeah I lucked out on that one, nos would cost more than the saws worth used is fine with me, and as for polishing is concerned only my pioneers get that kind of love.. Lol...

I didn't say that you did it, just that it looks like it has been done. That is more likely something a seller would do anyway...

Plastic covers from 1985 wouldn't be so shiny if nothing has been done.

Ah no worries I got a question about the two coil system my 85 has black coils the 84 has blue is there a difference between them other than color, is either of them unlimited or ?
