Arrarex Caravel replacement lever handle

On this product page you will find a replica lever handle for the Arrarex Caravel and VAM lever mechanism. Originally these handles where made from black Bakelite, but these could crack over time.  This is a reproduction handle made from Delrin, this is a mechanical plastic so it is extremely durable and won’t crack that easy. You can use this Arrarex caravel from the 1.0 series up to the 1.3 series and for the VAM Caravel it can be used on the 1.0 and the 1.1

Note: this is not the complete lever mechanism only the handle

• remove the complete lever assembly for the machine;
• on both sides of the handle there is a nickle plated guide for the handle. This guide has a small pin in the middle, that needs to be tapped out completely. You only need to do this on 1 side. 
• pull the "arms" apart and remove the broken handle part, this can be difficult. the steel connector rod can be rusted;
• slide the replacement handle over the connector rod and push the other part of the arms back in it's original position;
• Tap the small pin back in it's position.
