Can't Find Meteor Kit In EU?

[Haironyourchest]

My 461 blew up, bearings gone, cylinder and piston gone. From running it half throttle too much. Now looking as a massive bill from the Stihl shop with OEM parts. I would try and rebuild it myself, but having trouble locating a meteor rebuild kit in the EU or UK. Every positive hit sends me to ebay USA, where they are plentiful and cheap. They will ship to Ireland, but I'm just a bit wary of buying from ebay and the US - although I hear good reports. I'd rather buy from an EU seller, but there seems to be no rebuild kits my meteor for my saw around, even though they're made in Italy. Can anyone tell me why this is? I'm just curious, is it some kind of Stihl patent thing in the EU or what? Meteor kits for older Stihl saws are available in the UK.

Nice one gents, I'll check them both out, can't find Stihl on diyspearparts but will look harder later. Yes I think a piston will do, the cylinder is slightly scored but, assuming I can rebuild, the 461 will be repurposed as a stumper so it doesn't have to be high performance. Thanks for replies!
