    Hello Ed,

    Thank you for your kind words, are very appreciate it! As for the clamping levers you ask, I have bought these; actually are reinforced plastic that's why they have the push button, the simple one are made from Zamak I think? Definitely I prefer the original Kipp handles but these can't found in Greece (

    Thanks again
    All the best
    Dimitris

    Dimitris: "Ed" is the person in post #38 who suggested he was going to do the drawings because it was faster than printing the pictures. I'm "saltfever", who in post #40 asked Ed to be kind enough to post his drawings when done.

    BTW, Thank you for the follow-up on the source of the Kipp handles.

    Please accept my apology Saltfever, I thought Ed was your first name; I was confused.

    Regarding the Kipp handles, you are lucky because you can source easily any type of handle; the Kipp distributor in US have a variety of materials to chose from. steel, stainless steel, zinc or plastic. In Greece the only handles that we can source are from an Italian manufacturer and these are plastic or the slightly more expensive made from zinc; no official Kipp supplier here.

    Regards from Greece
