A nice bit of black insulation tape to put the finishing touches to it, all the lads'd be want them then  ;)

I couldn't get the holes right in what Damo sent me so it ended up being a hacksaw job on the existing handle, spud i used grey tape instead of black ;)

Well I guess it was more functionality you were after.
So you managed to get the orig handle off? whats under the tape?

If you got the handle off to reveal a threaded bar you should be able to fiddle around with a few bits of wood n diff size drill bits to get it right.

James yes it screwed off after alot of pressure. I totally removed the thread in the middle. Cut the plastic handle in half and then attached it back on with nothing but lots of tape. Seems to do the job.

Damo sent me a nice shaped wooden handle but i made a mess of making the holes in it so it would fit on the tap. Looks like my woodwork teacher was correct all those years ago :/

Spud yep it does the job alright. Its pouring using laughing gas at the moment. Ahhahahahahahahahaha

Yea, it had a makeover to turn it into the ultimate mans beer tap. It took loads of tape to give it that sexy look.

Nope it was too tall to fit i'm afraid. Works a treat now :D
