It would have to be pretty major dremel surgery. The top bracket would have to go, the threaded portion on the front would have to be cut down (Assuming that the threads went back into the main tube - dubious) and you would still need to tap the top thread (I assume that is how it connects at the top)

Get it for the P&P then bung it on fleabay so you can afford a new one.

PS mine is pretty rusty too, so when you do change it take lots of pics!
