707D exhaust

[gabriel]

What type of screen would be suitable for rebuilding the stock exhaust?  I hesitate to call it a muffler as I could actually see the piston before i took it all apart.  
I know the screens are important to keep sparks in and cool air out when you shut it down.  

If I had some mesh that would hold up, I don't think it'd be hard to remove the old and layer in some new but i doubt any old hardware cloth type stuff will hold up.


Thank you.

Most time I've only seen the aluminum damper.
I did bother to use one of the caps I had with the perf metal end, It made no difference to the noise.
I bought a wire screen element insert from Leon and it also makes little difference in noise.
Therefore I never bothered to get the extra parts for my 7-19C which has the same aluminum damper set-up.

I didn't figure it did much by way of sound suppression but something to keep trash and debris out as well as hold a modicum of heat in until the saw cools would be a good thing I think.....maybe that's what I get for thinking??? HaHa!!
