Broken mower handle framework

Like every mower, the handles on mine are made of tube-steel. The ends are pressed flat, and bolted-through where they attach to the mower. These always crack and break off over time.

So I cut the offending (and broken) ends off the handles, and added some serious reinforcement

1/2 pipe aluminium sheathes form large extended washers to prevent the tube-steel from collapsing where the bolts are drawn down tightly. I think they'll work fine.
