ludo Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 It's a ***** design and I always make a point of pressing my thumb on the pivot point whenever I use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 exactly the same thing i do. i hate the feel of mine. if my lever ever does break i rekon i'l make one out of metal if it isnt too complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludo Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 It's a bit like a cheap frying pan wherein the metal of the pan handle doesn't go all the way down the handle and one day, as you toss a pancake perhaps, it snaps. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryLupo Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I was thinking of getting a Polo one and adapting it. Seems pretty simple and they never break. Mine's extremely loose and bought the car used out of waranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
