I had to file down the "punches" on the top rod to take the handles apart. When fitting them, do I have to re-punch them, and if so, how?

I didn't punch mine as I didn't have a tool that could do it. They fitted quite tightly back in so I just ran the risk. 1 year on and they're still okay (touch wood)!

erm you could wrap a litlle tape round the inner bit to stop it from moving any where

or if you have a soldering iron just solder a little lump onto the bar
