brake lever help

[studysession]

I am trying to finish the assembly of my bar stool go cart. Problem is I am using a 1 inch steel bar for steering and I can't find a brake handle lever to fit the 1 inch bar I already welded on the steering column.

Would someone post some links where I can buy a brake lever that I can mount on a 1 inch steel bar that will fit?

Thanks
Keith

you may have to fabricate somthing\

this website doesnt really specify the diameter they fit over but there is alot here that might work

I have bought grips that fit 1 inch bars - figure they would also have brake levers to fit 1 inch bars as well. But I guess that's what I get for thinking.

Thanks

somthing like this would be very easy to fabricate to fit over the 1 inch steering shaft
