I bought a 3/4" brass pipe fitting and a couple of fresh hacksaw blades.

Then I got home and saw blitz' posting.
DOH!

I have never met Jean but this thread indicates that she earns the respect of those who know her.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Chuey.
I fix broke-stuff. Mechanical things come easy, but sometimes take awhile!
Does anyone here recall my clutch..about 3 years ago? R100s is NOT exactly like an R90s...
Chasing electrical demons is something I had to learn the hard way...most workshops are hopeless when it comes to solving electrical problems.
I'd hate to see Rob give up on this bike, tho. Not many things left to happen!

I wouldn't return it. The copper tubing technique will work, and would be pretty easy, but the brass pipe will give you a well-made tool that will last a lifetime, for not that much more work. Besides, working brass is just plain fun.
