Hi Jim,
Can you attach the dimensioned drawings to a post? I can't get them big or
clear enough to use.
Thanks,
Rick

=0A=0A=0A=0A=0AHi Paul=0A-=0AI am using the Tosten grip and there are a c

ublished the
dimensions. Some didn't like these and some others came up with an alternat
ive. (see the following web site) This guy found bending to be destructive
and wasn't happy with the location of the bends so he worked out his own di

I am using the Tosten grip and there are a couple of options that I have be
en looking at. The first was a bend in the stick by a bloke in the U.S. How
ever he no longer does the bending, but he published the
dimensions. Some didn't like these and some others came up with an alternat
ive. (see the following web site) This guy found bending to be destructive
and wasn't happy with the location of the bends so he worked out his own di
mensions and cut and welded the the stick.

I can understand this because I tried to get my rear stick bent here and ca
n't get anyone to bend it. According to the professional "benders"-the pi
pe is-an unusual size of molly and no one here will touch it without the

The rear stick is even shorter, but due to the sitting position this is not
a problem for the rear passenger. It is 9 1/2cm from the bottom of the rem
ovable pipe to the top. However I have found that I still need to bend the
rear stick with-a radius of-2.5 cm to stop it hitting the front seat be
fore full forward travel is reached. I think I will need to either cut and
weld or heat and bend.

Have a look at the attachment, I have put a couple of photographs there. Ho
pe this helps your decision.
