The one I have measures .120 ID, and .130 OD.
WHen you get it dialed in, make a bunch to sell some in For Sale forum?
This is the one I have, works fine. Might be hard to beat the price.

thanks, thats what i was looking for.
i'll just have to make sure my land rover doesnt find out i got these measurments from a jeep.
its cheaper to buy but making my own gives me an excuse to use my lathe.
i'll use 1018 for the shaft and aluminum for the handle, i ussually make a few extra when i make parts.
Made one from some brass last night. Now that I know it works I'll make a few more out of steel
Steel or better yet, stainless. The more resistance to bending, the better. Sometimes the tab gets stuck and you'll apply quite a bit of force without realizing it.
i have plenty of 1/4" 1018 and a few feet of 1/4" 4140, i considered stainless but i don't have any on hand that would be suitable
