handle missing
I have a pressure sprayer (backpack)
There should be a push on polyurethane (or rubber) handle on the end of the metal arm ...... but it has been lost. The bar is 16.4mm diameter ( probably imperial 11/16" tube) Tried looking on line, cant find any push on handle to suit .... anybody any suggestions where I can get one (or what to make one of) Obviously I could take a piece of wood dowel and drill it ... but rubber/plastic grip would be better. Handle shown here in vertical position ... https://tinyurl.com/y8ozc5cs I have tried several retailers - none stock spare handles |

I would have thought that a bit of the thin walled (cheap) stuff heated in hot water and lubricated would have slipped over a 16.5mm handle. Tim -- |
