Eta: also, people who spell McDonald's without the apostrophe. People who say MACdonald's should go without saying. Also see Gary Neville saying Scott MACKenna. A mate of mine has the surname McIntyre but has a personalised number plate with MAC in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipping through red lights is laudable cycling behaviour though. Not only is it the behaviour of OFTW but it is also illegal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only option would be 90 degrees, which would completely ruin the intuitive open/closed visual, and likely require a little work with a Dremal tool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, wouldn't work, the slot in the stem wouldn't marry up to the handle unless it was symmetrical The other option would be to tighten the whole valve round, but that would put all the connecting pipes out of alignment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why some work would be needed… but on that thought, just use a Dremal and nip about a half-inch off the handle…smooth the end and call it done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an Italian valve, are any of us surprised it takes a break part way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a hacksaw and knock a couple of centimetres off the handle so it fits. It would have been appropriate to do this on January 1st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
