[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 190392, member: 3972"] Just tinkering. A ⅞" hole saw makes a plug about 11/16" od. A penny is a really nice pressed fit if you sand a very slight bevel on the id of the bar. The wood plug could be made shorter...cut off. My setup here is too long for sure, and I don't have the throttle parts here to work with. But this is a good start. Drive the penny in a little and add a few dabs of jb or superglue to keep it there...temporarily permanent. I think a VERY good option would be to use a ½" copper pipe end cap for the big plug. They should be a pretty good fit to slide inside of the bar, and would capture the spring end.
