Kubota RTV X1100C grab bar handle - a little machining

[Ridgerunner]

The Kubota RTV has a grab bar handle on the US passenger side but not the drivers side. I bent up a piece of solid 3/4" round in to a handle and welded it to a piece of 1/4" x 1" flat stock. The flat stock had to be bent to conform to the curve of the door pillar. I drilled the flat and then counterbored or machined reliefs in the flat for the heads of rivnuts (or nutserts) so the flat could sit flush against the door pillar. I used button bolts so fingers or gloves would not get caught when grabbing the handle. It was 2 degrees F (about -17C) when I drilled the door pillar and did the install outside. Chilly on the fingers lol.

Nice job and you even painted it. Always nice when you can make something better with the tools you have
