Hi All.  As I progress slowly with my Rigid project, I have still been unable to source a correct rear stay/handle, part number 67-6755. The Indians who produce the rear guard only seem to make the stay/handle for the 'B' series, which is similar but not the same!
So, I'm thinking that I will have to manufacture one to suit which doesn't look to difficult if I had one to copy. So, heres my question, are there any rigid owners in the Home Counties or East Anglian that would allow me to measure the dimensions, perhaps draw around the top curve and take some detailed photos to achieve this goal?  This would be a great help and much appreciated. Unless of course, someone happens to have an original handle surplus to their needs!!!!!!!!!!
Many Thanks

Photos with measurements would be most welcome if you were to take pictures and measurements. I dont need to see in person, touch, taste or smell them,  But good photos and measurements for all the stands, brackets and braces would be invaluable as a resource IMHO.
