Here you go Paul, the fishish rod is 18 mm OD at the base where th coil connects,24 mm at the top of the shaft with a 20mm OD tube glued in at that end to accommodate the arm cuff and must measure around 22mm at the point where the handle fits to the shaft as I used a mountain bike bar end..which is designed to clamp on 22mm tubing!
Where is that five Shilling???

Tony, I see some changes to your shopfront signwriting coming...Something like Tony's Custom Coil and Shaft perhaps...
As you already know Jaco I just love making things, I would love to just make custom parts (one offs) for the rest of my life but I still gotta pay the bills and school fees...Some of what I do is design and problem solving but the bike shop keeps the wolves at bay!!!!

I would also like something like that for me to get around on my bike. It would be nice not to drive the car all the time
