Pistol grip handles
« on: May 11, 2010 - 07:47:29 PM »
Hello! Who makes the most accurate pistol grip handles for the pistol grip shifter? I have seen some poor repos that are a light beige and the wood grain pattern is not even close. Does any one make them look just like the originals?
Thanks,
Robert

The grips I use on my Auto-Grip product are from Year One and I've always been pretty happy with their quality. I have not purchased any in a few years, so I hope they have not changed vendors!

Scott Smith was working on a mold which was based on NOS grips. Not sure if it ever came to fruition. Maybe someone can check with him over at Mofarts?

Ok I'll have to ask the question to Steve.. If this is the right place. :dunno:
 How much inc post to Western Australia 6064. I'm sure I did see some pics of yours but if you can post up so I can see again that would be great.

Cheers!

I just found out that BE&A is making grips now and their quality has been good to excellent on everything I've seen from them. Cheaper than YO, too! I couldn't find a direct link, but they are located in the interior section. I will try a set soon and post results!

I don't mean to further derail this train, but here's a link to my ad here on CC.com:

Plase PM or e-mail me at quapman@aol.com for further details and/or shipping quotes. The postal website is giving ambiguous info.

Jason @ Gunslinger is supposed to have real wood grips available again shortly , I just prefer the angled grip & detent type Steve has on his handles

PLEASE DO NOT refer to another person's or company's product as an "autogrip".

"Auto-Grip" is a registered trademark, owned by ME and any other use of said trademark for a similar product is an infringement upon my right of ownership, and is fraud and theft.

I know this was not your intention, but there has been confusion in the past and there is only ONE Auto-Grip. Harm's, Scott Smith and/or Resto Rick have NO association with it.

Shipping to Australia would be:

$13.45 UN-insured flat-rate box
$31.90 Insured Priority Mail International

No, it does not make sense, but I just spoke with a Postal rep. and she confirmed that the small flate-rate box is not able to be insured.
