I finally finished up my tiller handle and bracket today.
The plate I found to make the bracket was 3/32", and
was slightly pitted to make it look it look 81 years old
like the rest of the motor!
It wasn’t "hard" to make, but time consuming with
the tools I had. For the square tubing tiller handle,
I substituted aluminum instead of steel like the original
would have been. Apparently I need a 1" diameter
grip to fit on the 3/4" square tubing. I found an old
7/8" grip in nice shape, heated it up, lubed the inside, etc.,
and got it on the handle about 1/2 way until it split open
like an over ripe plumb!
I don’t plan on making more brackets, but I did save my template
just in case the need arises.
