[QUOTE="Goldchaser1, post: 651805, member: 9528"] Great idea kiwi,all the ones i've done i threw in the bin,i also just do one cut nearly all the way through then pop it open with a screwdriver,it will flex open enough to slide off,if you were to try and reuse it i think this would be the preferred way,if you just tidy up where it's cut then lightly sand the shaft and the ferrule then 2 part epoxy (araldite) it would work id say. I had a mate ask early on if i could get clamps to suit the lower shaft also but here's the problem. You have a metal screw and the threaded bush for the lever clamp,well 2 metal screws actually,so you could easily replace them with nylon bolts (5mm) but the threaded bush is still metal,even if you could source a threaded nylon bush i don't think it would last long at all,there is a bit of pressure on those parts when locking it,i don't think the nylon threads would hold up long at all.
