Mine is a MK2* and I'm now not sure what I should have? Ron

Hi Ron, You have the same Mk of Carrier as Mike Gurr (Mk2*), and his seems to have been fitted with the Rubber grips from the factory. So the Rubber grips should work for everybody if you are able to get some made.

Thanks Tom. But now my rubber guy has gone quiet/missing? It's very unlike him. I just hope he's safe. Ron

Got the grip off safely this weekend and have sent pictures and dimensions to Hunter Eng and await a reply. Will update all as/when/if a response is forthcoming.

Jeff emailed me the other day about my initial inquiry with pictures about this.
He's a bit log jammed with work due to far more email orders than normal, because of not seeing his customers at jumbles. He said he probably won't be able to do anything till the winter. Ron |

Fair enough, at least I know I can get the grip off the handle in one piece now!

I have had a reply from Jeff Hunter with some costings. As Ron says he has a large back log so couldn't get to this till near the end of the year. I am happy to send him my grip and pay for the initial tooling and then to sell on pairs of grips at cost plus postage. They would work out at £40 pair plus the postage to where ever you are in the world. If I can get enough interest for 15 pairs that would allow me to break even. Please let me know on this post / by PM or email to register your interest. One thought is that my grips are '43 dated but I guess careful use of a hot knife could alter that for anyone with an earlier date vehicle or assume they were added later as replacements!

Hi Hans Erik, yes still fine to order, I will add you to the list. Jeff did say he was inundated with work but would hope to have something done by January. I have just sent him an email to see how work is progressing and will update when he replies. Thanks for the offer Richie but Jeff has had the pattern for a while so will see it through with him unless he is unable to do it.
Cheers
