jmsjabb Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have just bought a ABM210 with the round handles and always thought I would use it on its side. I noticed and have read about the handle problem. Problem solved! If you unscrew the alloy surround, it reveals the round handle and 2 more bolts. If you undo these and reverse the handle, it becomes flush with the recess. Then screw back the alloy surround and it all looks like it should do, only flush with the side. If you want more protection, but don't want to drill the cover, you can screw some more rubber feet by removing the screw holding on the corner and replacing it with a longer screw through the foot. If you are visually fussy, you can also remove the badge by drilling out the rivets and either turn/move it or leave it off. ( To do this, it is better to remove the grill first ) All in all, a cracking job, and totally reversible if needs be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmsjabb Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Finished photos, trying to show the now flush handle and de-badged front. Not, even with the feet screwed into the screw holes of the corners, you can't really see them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
