Has anyone done this? I'm a click away from buying the 362's wrap handle kit on ebay from customchainsawparts for my 261. I already have a 70cc saw and won't buy a 3rd, but love the wrap handle on my 462 and want one on the little guy. (261 firewood/tree - 462 milling) I'm pretty sure the clutch cover shouldn't have any issues lining up and I understand the mounting holes for the handle on the side wont be exactly, but I don't mind minor fabrication to adapt the kit. I'm wondering if the anti-vibe will be useless and if I'm completely wasting my time. I'm an enthusiast and don't mind the challenge. I've already woodsported the 261 - mm, timing advance, base gasket delete, and ported so at this point I'm itching to do something else.
