I have numerous Echo 550 EVL saws. Not a single one of them has a chain brake. If I'm correct, the saw must have the EVLP designation to have a chain brake.
So I looked into installing a chain brake on a regular EVL. But I think I need more than just the side cover, band and linkage, and the handgaurd piece. I'm afraid I'll need to convert it from an in-board clutch/drum to an out-board clutch/drum.
Am I correct, do I have to change it to an outboard clutch and drum in order to install the chain brake assembly?
P.S. Pictures would be awsome if anyone has them.
