Need help on the original metal flag brake handle. Wondering if there is a available brake band for the early clutch covers. Would really like to get my brake back in working shape.

Hi there
Yes they are available aftermarket
501830201 is the part number I just ordered three of them from France
I previously ordered them from the UK but the company is no longer trading
For me the original chain brake is a must

The first three years use 501536501 then 501830201 is used on all the rest of the metal handle saws. The latter also fits the 281/288 series with the metal handle and all of these are NLA from the OEM.

Please post a link. I couldn't find anything when I was looking for this a year or so ago.

I just noticed where you're located. I don't need one at the moment and will try to buy from this company if I do.
If his saw was made in the first three years this might now fit anyway. The OP might be better off to convert his saw to the newer plastic handle.

What is needed to be done to convert to newer brake and cover? If decide to go this route. Thank you!

I reckon you buy the whole assembly for a later model saw.
They're available through the aftermarket but I can't comment on the quality of those because I've never tried one.

So newer assembly should bolt right up

That's a shame you can't pick up a brake band easily for these saws. Alot of them are still around. Like the looks of the metal hand guard.
