Which ball end levers are people cannibalising to use to make 60’s replicas levers?
Thanks.

I used some new Cuppini ones, but they still needed work with a file so they fitted well at the pivot end.

I do have some cheaper unbranded ones you can have for the cost of postage. These a lot need more work to get them half decent. PM me if you want them.

Thanks for the kind offer, but I would really like to make my own if possible for a project.It involves threading the end of the original levers and cutting ball ends of donor levers and drilling and tapping to suit. Can’t remember if one’s to use are 20 or 25 mm.
Thanks.

You can buy alloy balls from ebay in various diameters with threaded holes for around £4.
