I have got a set of Reba Air forks from and they have a remote lever control, I have bought them second hand but the control seems to be too big for the handlebars? I can see it may need a screw and rubber adapter possibly but cannot see how it tightens as it seems to be a solid plastic cast. Is it a bolt type thing that screws in against the handlebars?

Looks to me like it's missing an inner collar that would tighten on the bar.

You can sort of see it here

Thanks for the link, yes I can see from that listing it does indeed appear to have an inner collar in there. Not sure how best to get it secured yet but I will have to try and figure it out, maybe a rubber type thing like on a bike/gps mount.

You can DIY a shim for that. I did similar using the plastic housing from old hand grip.
