Homemade handlebar metal cover end caps in the works. A cork, a nickel, and a wood screw, each side, of course.

I only got the one side done tonight, it's tougher to Dremel through a nickel than I thought, and also pretty tough to properly jam half a wine cork in there.
I also know I need longer and beefier wood screws, I'll cross that bridge later, I just used what I got handy for now.
Yes my hand is healing up fairly well already, I'll probably be more or less fully healed up in about a week or so.
Just befriend an old road cyclist with packrat tendencies and ask them for end plugs. They all have decades worth of bar end plugs stashed in the garage somewhere, because handlebar tape always comes with a pair and they can't bear to throw anything out. (Ask me how I know.)
I always throw those shit ass plugs to trashcan. They're so fucking bad, I rather use the screw-tightened ones
