gunner handgrip MK-II/MK-II*

[Ron Pier]

OK Tom. I'll send a pic of yours to Jeff and see what he says. Ron

[Mike Gurr]

Ron, and anyone else interested. I am happy to loan a grip for the purposes of having copies moulded if I can get one off. Not sure if that will be easy of if they were moulded on to the metal and are stuck tight. I will be over at my Carrier again on Saturday and will see what I can do.

I have a MkI* left hand bracket which looks the same as yours. It is just plain steel tube, so I imagine a grip was just a push fit (rubber would be, like a bike) A rubber grip should be easy to remove, how ever 70 years changes all that. I image wood was glued. Glue plus 70 years =??? Leather has likely shrunk?? Paper=????
Good luck Mike.

[Michael R.]

I expect you will find they slip off readily.

Jordan Baker used to make copies, there are plenty out there.

[Lynn Eades]

So, with regards to getting a run made, are we talking rubber ones for a MkI*?
If so, I'm a starter for a pair, Ron, Mike.

[Ron Pier]

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

[Tom Millward]

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.
