Not a bad idea ! lose 2 inches on the handle but that could be ok ... im short :)
I'm 45 minutes up the road from you bring it up and i will weld it back together its an easy fix.

If you feel adventurous you can even have a shot at welding

Which is where i end up spending ages blowing holes in it :oops:
Ah doh ! Thanks very much for the offer :D much appreciated , just spotted this post Monday morning , unfortunelty over the weekend i remove the "ok" end, took a hammer and flattened the tube , started to punch a first rudimentary hole. Still a work in progress but almost there. Thanks for the suggestions / help everyone.
