All,
Although I can thread my fingers through the #3 finger lever, I cannot do so with gloves. Has anyone had the #3 finger lever reshaped?

I've seen quite a few that have been reshaped, but have not done any myself.

i have done it two different ways. one is to heat it and beng it to the shape you want. my favorite look is to cut off the end near the first bend. shape the cut end so it fits nicely at the arc of the primary loop. weld it on. shape to shape and reblue. i'll se if i can find a picture of one i have done. it will look sorta like a #1 set up when you are done

this is a welded lever. the tab is actually the original end of the lever that was cut off [Linked Image]

Shooter42,

Thanks for posting the pics. Very nice looking mod. I see what you mean when you say it resembles the #1 lever.
