i used a cut down shifter from a ford transfer case. start looking in nonobvious places for ideas and parts. while i was out riding trails the other day i found a wrench that was the perfect shape for a lever for a hand brake on my murray
the harbor freight flashlight works great. batteries usually last a couple months and its plenty bright so people can see you. i've had one in my murray a while now in an old bucket
just found this site a few days ago. wow is all i can say.it made me think of so many ideas for future projects. thanks to every one that put up a pic. i'll be posting some of my stuff soon
