Making an extension for the Control Valve Lever.

"the expensive little metal bin near welding" aint that the truth!
you can also drill and tap the tube for setscrews.

Yeah, you would think that those little pieces of metal are at least gold plated Another thing I think might work to secure the rod in the tubing would be to take a sharp pointed punch and place the tubing and rod on a good solid piece of steel and hit it with the sharp punch to "dimple" it together. I believe that would work as the tubing is just 1/16 inch thick.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I made one for mine now just waiting on my hoses to be shipped.
