OOOOPS,,,Brake handle NOT screwd on,,,It is all one piece,,,Pat has a most excellant description of plating just part of the lever,posted here somewhere recently,,,Over all the years I am trying to remember if anyone had a separate hand piece,,so far I cant recall one,,all cast or forged one piece,,Recently we have seen one incorrectly cast in brittle iron,,and it had gotten a side force and snaped,,My preference would have been bronze,,it will bend some while giving an audible objection,,,!!! ,,and it will polish and accept plating,,Now briefly on steering wheels,,If you are going to make a wheel-rim,,copy the Rolls,,silver ghost,, or P-1,,now they work REAL GOOD,,with or without gloves,,What self respecting driver/chauffeur would drive without gloves,,dont answer all at once,,haha Cheers Ben
