mark_w Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Have made a small batch of these while I was making one for myself, they are 30mm dia 120mm long , diagonal style weave, 2 different style anodised aluminium ends with 2x M5 grub screw fixing. I have tried to simplify the fitting by machining out a bit of clearance for the weld that is found under the handle once the grip is removed. cost is £60 inc postage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative gileshudson Posted June 24, 2020 Area Representative Share Posted June 24, 2020 Nice looking bit of kit Mark. I have the same but made by young Carsten over in Germany. Looks great and feels good to the touch too. Top work that man! Wonder if I could find somewhere to use another one on the car... Dzus screwdriver holder maybe!

mark_w Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 (reply to 5 )Will they fit a metric chassis S3 ?I think they should fit all handbrakes but have only fitted to my 2001 imperial chassis, what i will say is if there are any issues I will sort them so your not left without That goes for anyone who buys oneMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi Mark, Just measured my grip on a 2014 S3. Its barely 95mm long, but longer hopefully fits ok. How would you remove the plastic grip ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_w Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 think its glued on some how, mine took a bit of removing with brute force (mole grips) then scraped / sanded the remaining glue off, the limiting factor on the length is underneath the diameter where the gaitor is it drops away at an angle. measure from there to the front of the grip, see what you've got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hi Mark, I see what me about the angle of the metal. 120mm should be ok as just less than 130mm space. Diameter of handbrake metal tube part is 20mm. Will this be ok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
