Hand throttle
« on: December 30, 2010, 06:02:23 pm »
I bought an aluminium steering wheel for the new mower I am building and the wheel in a hair over 1" in diameter, 1.03" to be exact and the throttle lever I have now will not fit around the wheel.  Any idea of any larger ones for a larger diameter wheel out there, roughly to fit a 1" handle bar or something?

USE AN DIA TECH DIRTY HARY. WORKS GREAT ON ALL STEERING WHEELS. COMES WITH AN BUSHING FOR SMALLER WHEELS.

I like the dirty harry better myself as I like to use two fingers for throttle for better control.
