HDA87 question

[MAngelotti1]

Reviving a 262 for a friend. Early saw with HDA 87. Has newer Mahle cylinder on it now. The H and L screws are bent near the head and rub together. I have a 144 on the shelf and am wondering if I can use the screws from that in the 87? They look to be the same length. Any input? I capillary leave originals and try it just don’t know if being bent they will have an issue.

I have removed and straightened them before. Just use care with needle end.

Yes Sir, even the low & high needles are the same Walbro number 98-417.
