Title: New handle
Post by: Jerseymic on August 22, 2015, 04:32:51 PM
Fitted a handle from a 112H2 on my narrowed 500

Had to fit the nylon cap to the nut, accomplished with the help of a 1/8th wood working chisel.

Doesn't look very pretty but fits tight when the cap is pressed down. I am sure some of you guys could come up with something a lot nicer in stainless, but hey I'm a carpenter!!

I suppose you are right Sal, but I do curse a bit that I am not more proficient with metal.

Besides, the metal blunts my chisels!! :(
