And today i installed the lud bail upgrade
65188 on the blue 2nd gen performer. The workhorse
Is a much needed upgrade on the older gen performers.
-
Agreed, needed upgrade...

Nice. Looks great and makes it much easier to cook with that upgrade.

100% agree that its a necessary upgrade for older generation Performers. The metal table is a grate upgrade as well. It really gives the gen.2 the ultimate look imho:

I swapped it out on a local find. I upgraded my MT and passed a great deal onto the new owner for a copper performer

Nice work Fhar. This is exactly what I need, will it work on a DD(2000?) Performer?
-
Will this work on an entry level 22 kettle?
Or, maybe this one?

I prefer the slide-aside (pictured) for a lid bale on 18 and non mastertouch 22s. Works great and no drilling needed.

I already have two holes in the bowl, as it held a wire bracket to support the lid.
What are the dimensions of the Weber lid bail, with the distance between the ends?
-
This reminded me I wanted one of these. Called Weber directly and have mine on the way after about three minutes on the phone. $35.57

Just did the upgrade on both my 2018 Classic, and my 1979 Cooker. The Classic has all of the upgrades now to make it a Master Touch. The lid sits at nearly 90 degrees on the Classic.

I have an 18" OTP that I would love to do this for, but I don't think there's a newer 18" bail I can use.

I recall someone bent a 22 lid bail to fit an 18 bowl, otherwise the slide aside is a good option for your OTP.
-
I was thinking the slide aside if I had no other choice. Guess I would have to fill the holes...

What I wanna know is where did you get that wooden vent handle? Also, maybe a stupid question, but is this lud bail different than the normal slide aside?

Question just got a red premium kettle with the lid bail but this one looks like it has way more space for the lid. Im assuming that I can just replace existing bail with the one mentioned in this thread?

I recently bent one to fit a brand new 18" one touch, and added the ash catcher assembly.
It too some patience and a lot of measuring, but I think it came out pretty good.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211029/53ce3239f061da84f7e5c78cefd847ce.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211029/00740f68112fc5d5d49ce3fe1e1ae899.jpg)
