The IPL for the 026 shows a chain brake "hose" which slips over the main chain brake spring.

I have had a couple 026 apart, and none of them had the hose. I assume it shows up on late 026?
Do people add the hose on the earlier saws?
I assume the purpose is to keep the spring from slapping the case? I have never had a 026 which showed signs of case damage...but, I do have an 038 with spring-caused case damage.
