180 Pedal Drive Upgrade: low-tech vs high-tech

Heard about upgrading the pull handles to a smaller length and was a less to get a pair from Allan Cross; but decided to see if I can make a cheaper version and here what I came up with. Less than $6.00 for all the parts: 2  nylon bolts and 2 nylon T handles... and a little bit of clear epoxy!

This is a great upgrade! I have an 180 too and the long handles always get in my way all the time, usually hitting my feet. Thanks for posting!

I'm interested in seeing how this holds up. I think I'll be getting a pair of these fins soon (ish)

That’s pretty cool. If I ever upgrade to the 180 drive, I’ll do this mod.

In general, I use nylon for everything I can on my kayak, as it’s virtually indestructible.
