Hey,
Sure.

Fact is if you want to replace the complete sweeper you don't need to drill.
Just cut off the "bolts"  (or call it sweeper arm if it still exists :-)  ) that the stuff fits through the washer and it will fall apart.





Hope that helps you out! (If I got your question right)
Best regards,
Jan

Thanks, I'll have to take a look when I get a chance this weekend. I also enjoyed the pictures on your blog! How did you restore the handles? I need to do that as well.
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

Hey,
sorry for the late response. I somehow missed your question about the handles.

I just use sandpaper and a file/rasp (not sure which word is more common).
I use the sandpaper to get rid of the dirty and rotten wood layer to restore nearly the org. color. With the rasp I try to reshape the edges.
The last finish is done with warm non-stick-spray. You could also use some timber-preservativs but not-stick-spay works fine for me since years.

Best regards,
Jan

Very nice restore! I love the fact that you were able to bring it back to its original beauty... nicely done!
Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.
