Awhile back I bought some Biltwell Thruster Grips and bought a stock throttle tube off fleabay. So that tube has rings & ribs that need removed ,using my bench grinder I removed all the ribs and the ring. But still needed to remove the step before that last ring , removed the tiny lug next to the ring with a razor knife. Now to remove the step and leave the last ring , I was thinking a lathe but I don't have one , so I found a arbor for a cylinder type sander removed sanding cylinder put it in the tube and tightened it till it expanded inside the tube then put arbor in my drill press. Then found my sharpest wood chisel , started drill press and using back of chisel , so it wouldn't dig in , removed the step , then used a sanding block to smooth it all out and finish with coarse steel wool. What a lot of work just to get a grip on. But it turned out nice. Some wd40 and install the thruster grip , left grip better not take that long.
