Been out for a quick run, throw is shorter and nice and weighty. It's a proper piece of kit. Thank you for deciding to make some, I am more than happy with it.

Chuffed.
Works a treat and looks the shiz!
thx Ollie Only minor minor gripe/suggestion would be to recess the grubscrews a tad. Countersunk hole and shorter screw to hide the slight protrusion of the grubscrews as you can feel/catch them sometimes.
Are the grubscrews an off the shelf item?
Worried that I may need to have some spares on hand if I ever lost one, some. What spec are they?
But it's a tiny gripe for what is otherwise an outstanding piece of work

The screw should cut in to the shaft as it is only aluminium, try giving it another half a turn.
They are M4x6mm I wanted M4x5mm but they didn't stock them.
If you can find M4x5mm pointed that would be better, I just went to my local fasteners.
The others were M4x4mm they were to small

Any other projects lined up?
How about a matching handbrake handle?
