A while back I bought a 562XP with the wrap handle as I needed another mid size saw, and always run full wrap handles on mid and larger saws.
The problem is that the design of the what they call a 3/4 wrap handle, you cannot set the saw on its side to refuel without propping it up with something as it will just roll over, dumping the fuel, a really poor and potentially dangerous design.
So my question is, does anyone know of a full wrap handle off another saw that might fit with some minor modification?
I was able to do this on an old 266XP that the handle had failed and a  full wrap handle from a 372XP fit with some minor modification, as I was unable to find a new full wrap for that saw.

Thanks

Would you post a pic or two of the 3/4 wrap handle on the 562XP?
