Looks great!

Your handle reshaping is not same as what I did, so I can not take the credit for this. It did give me the idea to use the fireplace handle over the taco shell as an other option.

I will have to try your style handle strap when I get a chance.

I tried that. It doesn't fit. There would be some work involved which I didn't wan't to do at the time.

Don't have any idea regarding the height of the fireplace strap but I'm almost certain it's not tall enough to be used on top of the taco shell. You'll be cooking your knuckles on the shell.

The fireplace straps if I recall were the same size as the normal Weber handles. I found that they were just a bit to narrow to bolt onto the standard taco.

If the height of the fireplace strap is the same as the standard kettle handle, then it's way too short to be used atop the shell.

Zav wood rocks. I have several.

I like what you did with the taco handle strap. If you decide to market them, I'll be your first customer!!

Sorry brother but you'll never see me marketing these  new and improved tacos anytime soon. First of all, it's a very easy modification. Just cut, bend and drill. Not including sanding and polishing the strap, it should only take 15 minutes or so. Second, this is a @greenweb invention.
Other than that, it makes you wonder what weber's designers were thinking when they concocted this design. This modified version uses less material and definitely cheaper to manufacture.

Cool. Nice job!

Two awesome performers! Nice job!

What material is this?

Some type of embossed ss sheets similar to those in the link below.

Man, you have great attention to detail, and your work is very precise.  Inspiring, indeed!  Thank you. 

a nice man named @greenweb from Ontario

Yeah, I can vouch for this.

They worked for me, just had to spread them a tiny bit.

I'm so satisfied with the result that I'm contemplating installating a taco handle on the grass green.

I've got the taco version of that lid.  If your non taco lid is in great condition with no chips/rim rash etc and you want to make a trade let me know!  Those performers look great!

If only a local trade I'll will jump on it. The lid is in excellent  condition except the  typical slight yellowing on the handle weld area. It's the only reason I'm not too fond of the welded handle especially on the lighter colored kettles. Only ly grill that i paid real money for it so shipping is not really an option. Thanks for the offer though.

My hunter green lowrider ssp felt left out so i decided to pimp it out a bit.  To fit the theme,  made the handle shorter by 1/2" compare to the redhead.  The shorter handle actually looks much better.

Very cool! Just realized all your SSP has diff. SS bars and plates to make each one unique. You definitely have your own style going with all your SSP.
