I'm sure that you may have considered this idea already, but how's about having someone send you a saw from the US?

Shipping couldn't be too much, but how is the import duty or tax set up in Australia? A hassle or just too much of a PITA?

Yeah have considered it. In 2 minds to do it. The big plus would be to have a saw ported as well then send. stihlman on AS does all his saws like that.
 
Prying the lip up is tedious but doable. I have done a few that had cats in them that I wanted out.

Very nice work on the louvers.
 
Looks great. I want to do that to my, new to me MS 261... Will a simple mod like that require a carb tune ??
