A bit of 32mm round bar scrounged from the blacksmith, and cut in half
measured my handlebars and a plan drawn
because my friend George offered to help me
and he has this lovely lathe, a Myford ML7 Trileva
Turned the round bar to one inch diameter as per my handlebars
a stepped sleeve was then cut each end to the internal diameter
and the bar bored internally to lighten it
George had very successful business working with the
aircraft industry on concorde etc - and he has got a very nice shed
The bar weighed 740g and the newly crated slug a healthy 260g
Had to grind the internal weld on the bars
and voila a nice tight fit! Simples Roland - haha, - not
Tomorrow - welding
