Hand Throttle

 Page 2 - Spacer Fab March, 2003 
Splitting the Spacer Shifter and Spacer
Cut a section of PVC to size. Shifter and the new spacer.
I plan on putting the throttle on my gear shift lever, but the bicycle shifter was made for bicycle handle bars, and they have a bit larger diameter. I need a spacer. Looking around the garage I found some schedule 80 PVC left over from a sprinkler project. Perfect!

I cut a small section of pipe about an inch long. Then I split it into 2 pieces so I could sandwich it around the gear shift lever and clamp the biclycle shifter over it. A little black paint to finish it off and we're done.
