SWMBO had some new brakes fitted to the chariot a couple of years ago.
Does anyone know of some way to re-cover the lever with something. I have vague visions of bits of hosepipe, but the end needs to be sealed nicely.
Is there some other source - possibly for a completely different application ?
TIA all.
What cross section dimensions is the shaft? Is there a bulge on the end under the cover or is it straight?
Wondering about things like car gear knob covers and similar. If the gear knob is too big, maybe there are handbrake or similar covers, or some auto cars have a smaller dash mounted selector.
For DIY, a squash ball would have a rubbery feel. Could maybe drill one out and fill it with something of appropriate squishyness. Silicone?

Build it up with self amalgamating tape and sprinkle some talcum powder on it afterwards to kill any residual stickiness.
If you buy some, as a test wind it around something like the end of a pencil stretching it by at least 50 % as you do so. Leave it for 30 minutes and then try and get it off :)
Two excellent avenues of investigation already. Big thanks and have a great weekend !
I think mouldable silicone rubber exists...

plastidip? hockey-stick tape?
If it doesn't need to be soft then "designed to fit a standard 22mm frame" makes me think of a 22mm push fit stop end
What about Sugru?
Or Polymorph. Lots of YouTube videos. Never used it.
Sugru is (tm).
Opensource DIY version is "oogoo", cornstarch and some of the half-tube of silicone caulk left over...
Round bit of wood slotted over the metal bit, rubber bicylcel grip over the wood?
Golf ball, drilled & epoxied on?

Looks as though the rubber end to a walking stick might do the job, depending on size.

Not an exact shaped match but....
