I have a handle I would like to use on a 349H rebuild. I believe the 349H uses the 113H size handle/sleeve shape. The handle I have appears to be the size used on a 114H. Does a bushing or reducer adapter exist to allow using a larger handle on the smaller shaft? If my info/assumptions are incorrect, please correct me!
Thanks,
Scott
Not that I know of Scott.
Hi Scott --
Anything can be modified -- up to a point -- however...
You might try going with a custom maker on our site such as Alan, Adam, Bryan, Tom, Smooth Drag, or others.
They might have exactly what you need for no effort and a perfect fit with plenty of cranking torque.
The hole needs to be a tight and perfect fit -- with the crank nut & lock screw buttoned down well -- particularly with a brass gear sleeve -- otherwise, sleeve rounding issues could occur.
Best,
Fred
Thanks guys, that might be the direction I have to take. The handle I wanted to keep is more for sentimental reasons rather than practicality and the color of the knob just looked kinda cool. If I get ambitious, maybe I'll try to machine something up.
Scott, if you do machine a piece let us know and post pictures if possible, sounds like an interesting concept.....Bill
