Husqvarna 272 full wrap chain brake ????

[McCullocutter]

Does anyone have a source for a full wrap handle bar Husqvarna 272? I know the part number but am having a HELL of a time finding the brake handle. They call it a west coast style chain brake handle. It came with a full wrap handle bar and a half wrap chain brake....which was lame. It would engage while holding the handlebar. So I cut off the handbrake with a leatherman.

You need a 281/288 brake flag. I've got a new one I was keeping along with a spare wrap, but I'd be willing to sell it since I don't see myself getting another 272 for awhile yet.

What’s a brake flag and how much?

New's about $45 last time I bought one, my price would depend on shipping costs. The flag is the plastic bit in the red circle. And, it just so happens to be a pic of a full wrap 272 with a 281 brake flag.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot with a 288 brake flag.
