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.

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.

a nice man named @greenweb from Ontario
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.
I'm so satisfied with the result that I'm contemplating installating a taco handle on the grass green.
