Alluminum Stalks
Where does one get your sierra stalks retrofitted with the alluminum replacements.

They are very easy to make actually. Firstly get some 12mm aluminium bar cut it to the desired length. Then round off the end ideally in a lathe but
it can be done in a power drill. Then drill I think it is a 3mm hole in the one end about 20mm deep.
Cut the stalk off the original sierra switch. It leaves a 3mm hole in the centre. Find an old drill bit that will be an interference fit into this
hole and thread lock it in. Then push the aluminium stalk over and threadlock it on.
Bingo. I have done a couple and they work a treat!

Yep, me too, sounds simple and will look very effective as I can't stand the Ford units. I had been thinking of buying a set but couldn't
part with the money so this is great. Just got to get some 12mm ali pipe....

buy a couple of these cheap craft knives. You get a nice bit of fancy detailing.
