just for your information, the bottom piece(the ball end) is not hardened I believe.
And you can not tell if it is a 3 piece lever from new as the chromework covers where they join. That's why I thought it was a 1 piece lever until it started to screw out after installing it into the vehicle.
Hope this helps.

Ps. Don't take any notice of those answers by "forever4", "Rowdy" and "Y-blockhead". They are just amusing themselves & obviously have nothing better to do or too much time on their hands.
Thanks for your answer. At one time I was thinking of making new lower ends out of a hardenable material and offering them for sale but the logistics wouldn't allow for a reasonable price unless the "buyer" could cut off and tap the hole in the upper piece of the lever. I will probably make one for myself if/when my repro wears out. Don/WI
