I've got two older saws that run great, but are lacking a chainbrake.
The first is a Husqvarna 380cd. As I understand it, when they added the brake to these saws, it was mounted to the chain cover, so all I need is a chain cover with a brake and I'll be set. Does anyone know where to look for one? Would a cover off of another similar saw fit?
The second is a Stihl 020 avp rear handle. The saw already has the plastic piviting handguard to work with a brake, and a side cover desined to accept the brake. From what I've read, what I need is a handguard spring, brake band, and brake linkage, or a chain cover with the brake assembely already mounted. Am I missing anything? How does the brake band hook to the handguard? Does anyone have one of these saws with a brake that could take some pictures? Where might I find a chain cover with the brake band installed in it?
