[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 58430, member: 2152"] Ok so pictured above is the next tough part. Through the centre of the barrel i used a poly pipe riser with threaded ends for two reasons. The first is the outer diameter fitted inside the white fittings without too much hassle, (this using the white poly creates alot of friction) and only needed a small amount of shaving on both the black shaft and white fittings. Secondly it gave me a threaded end to work with at the handle end which was a much stronger connection to drive the winding but removable for transport and storage. At the exiting end of the barrel where the shaft is inserted into the t piece you'll need to taper it slightly rounded it off and add some grease. With the riser this was pretty easy using coarse sand paper to take a fraction off [/QUOTE]
