O.K. I bought a couple of units from Faeth. Slight problem. One has a
reported bent shaft and the other has "bad chrome" on the shaft.

Has anyone swapped the wheels themselves from bowtie to ram's horn (same
shaft size)? There appears to be a special pin in the bow ties and they
also look to be epoxied on. Is removal from the shaft even approved? Or
is this a "factory only" one-time operation that cannot be repeated? How
are the ram's horn wheels secured? Do you have to destroy the bowtie to
get it off?

Anyone swapped the control wheels only?

Thanks,
Mike

Good luck Mike. And send a post back if you want the names of the
other companies. Like I said -- they all had 1 & 1/8 shafts, so
they're no use to me...



You should be able to sleeve the larger yokes down to 3/4".
