HubbardRA 19 Posted August 7, 2007 Ken, Sorry that I didn't notice this sooner. Been pretty busy since I retired. Don't have the regular check in times that I did when working. Here is a couple pictures of the handle: Distance from end to center of first hole is 1/2 inch. Holes are 2 3/4 apart. Hole size is 0.390 which is clearance hole for 3/8 bolt. End of tube is flattened and then bent at approximately a 15 degree angle. A reinforcement plate that is 1/4 inch thick is welded to the back side, with the second hole drilled thru both pieces. The end of the plate is 1 1/2 inches from the end of the flattened tube. The tube diameter measures 1.07 inches. Hope this is enough information. If you need more please PM me.

KraigRG 0 Posted August 7, 2007 Ken, Sorry I didn't get to this until this afternoon. I measured up mine and came up with same dimensions as Rod. The tube is about 26" from the end to the flattened area. Overall with the flattened area it's a little under 31" Kraig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
