I don't mind at all. Do you mean the threaded-on-both-ends rod covered by the chrome tube for the outer control handle?

[TOPDOWNRESTO]

Yes, inner threaded tube measurements and while your there the I.D.and O.D. and length of the outer sleeve tube that goes over it. Since these are NLA thought it might be worth it for Jeff to have the measurements for those like me doing a conversion or for those that need a replacement. Some pictures may help too.

Much appreciated

The outer sleeve measures 5 13/16 long, .43 ID, .56 OD

The handle I have is broken so I'm adding both pieces to get the total measurement. I've attached a pic of an unbroken handle also.

The center smooth section is 4 11/16 long, .40 OD
The good end has 1" of 3/8-16 threads
The broken end has (approx.) 1.75" of 3/8-16 threads
Total length is 7.5" including the machined tip that acts as a lock on the horizontal shaft.

I'm not a machinist so these measurements are just "pretty close"

Thanks, will keep everybody posted, Jeff does some nice work I see.

Need the "nub" measurement ( lock ) on the end. 1/4" OD x 1/8" long?

Almost there

Corrected thread size to 3/8-16 NC

[TOPDOWNRESTO]

Also and lastly for my 1650 I could use the measurements for the placement of front hydro outlet holes as I will need to do that . I have access inside or out as engine and cradle are out still.

thanks for your help

Almost there

The nub is still inside the rod end for now. I haven't had time to try to get it out yet. I'm going away until next week but I'll work on it when I get back.
