Just so ya know, it's kinda poor etiquette to image leech from someone else's site. |

The handles on Happ's Heavy Duty 8-way trigger stick are Tron handles. They're pretty inexpensive, and for molding purposes would serve the same purpose as an actual Tron stick. (Happ's part #s 96-2526-00 and 96-2527-00, cost is $5.98 each, $11.96 for the pair) As for SW grips, you'd have to find an original to make those. "Tom" was using a flexable (nylon?) mold that deteriorated after a few castings (or so I understand). I think, at this point, Happ is the only place that has injection molds of these handles. There was another recent thread about 1UP working on this very project. |

In my defense, I did cite the source, and that was the understood past rule in every other community I have been a part of. Guess the BYOAC is different, so I won't be doing it again. Also it was merely for illustrative purposes of the poll. If I had some, I would have used my own........but then I wouldn't have started this poll. |

I'm hoping to find someone willing to loan some out, I'd only need them for a week. Probably once I get the Tron grips going someone will step forward. I understand how no one would want to loan something valuable as gold to somebody they don't know from Adam, especially when I have nothing to offer in return except copies. --- Quote ---"Tom" was using a flexable (nylon?) mold that deteriorated after a few castings (or so I understand).

It's the most common thing to use- depending on the quality of the rubber, they usually will "crap out" after 20 or so pulls. Then you just make another mold. :) |
