The bolt that the entire handle swivels on is about 5/16th but the hole on the ratchet it mounts to must be 1/2" or bigger. Can anyone tell me if that is correct or do you think I'm missing a bushing in there, I'm guessing on a bushing. Second question, on the top release handle does the spring work with both cross bolts ie.does the coil in the spring have the cross bolt going through it and hook on the other cross bolt. Third, is the rod going from the front to the rear straight, mine is bent quite a bit, not sure how much it should be. Dave

The upper one could use a bushing but not a shoulder bolt. DON'T tear yours apart yet, I'm going to do a little more investigation. I'll keep the offer on the table. Thanks, Dave

Kip, yours is totally different than mine, mine looks just like the other pics. And no, there are no threads inside the hole. Thanks. Dave

At least that's what the spring on mine looks like. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 | I should should learn to read better, reverse lockout is exactly what it is
Sorry | | |
