tiller grip
Just found this in my shed whilst having a bit of a clear up.
Not for sale, but would swap for something.....
It does bear an uncanny resemblence to something much older if you get my drift!
More than likely not original,but might be good for a clone or two.

Re: tiller grip
Yes please Would you like to swap anything, or just sell it? I do have a few new Dover grips...
Re: tiller grip
Adrian, I must say, I have never seen anyone get so excited over a rubber grip!......is there something you're not telling us.....a closet grip collector maybe!!
Re: tiller grip
Ha ha, just the thing I need to gather for my ON when I get around to starting it. when it comes to grips, soft rubber wins over hard plastic

Re: tiller grip
Rene let us know how long your best original grip is?
This is another component that it looks like we're going to have to remanufacture, has anyone found any 2 pack products that look & feel like rubber?

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Re: tiller grip
From memory, i think Oyster mentioned a while back that some bicycle handlebar grips are a pretty close match.
Might be worth a closer look to see if there is anything that resembles the (ahem) "older grips" for the "older seagulls"
(don't want to say the "M" word)
At least if there is a good clone available, it might save a lot of time and effort in re-making certain obsolete parts.

Re: tiller grip
I have spent many hours looking for Marston type grips, have looked at quite a few original ones, will not be hard to reproduce, cost will be £10 each I would think.headdownarseup wrote: (don't want to say the "M" word)

I have thought about making a batch, but need to find the best surviving original one to copy, what are your ones like Rene?

Re: tiller grip
I'll have to have a look but I don't think I have many motors with the original grips, I'll get some photos up
