Can anyone advise me on what is involved with replacing the handle on my push/pull case? The case is good and strong but the handle is pretty mangled and I would love to replace it. I've got a good suitcase type handle I can use but I don't know how the original is secured in place. I imagine it's with some kind of pin or rivet but I'm looking for some advance knowledge before I start screwing things up.
Thanks in advance for all replies. |

I found a very nice handle at The Woodworker's Store. Had to peel back the case lining to put it on, but it was a definite upgrade. Nice, thick, soft-leather. Much easier on my hands.

| In my neck of the woods, there is a shoe repair shop that will fix golf bag handles, belts, luggage, etc. |

| To add to what Ron posted, check your local Yellow Pages for luggage repair. They have many suppliers that would have just what you need. |

Ted, could you post a picture of the new handle you bought? I repair musical instruments for a living, and part of the job is also putting new handles on cases. If I could see what type your new handle is, maybe I can tell you how to attach it properly.
