The replacement grip on this example had been carved out of a piece of wood and was honestly a reasonably good fit.Īfter thoroughly cleaning the glue from the frame we saw that the grip retaining pin on the right-hand side was flared and would not let the grip fit properly. Then we noticed that the grip screw through the grip was stacked with a bunch of steel and copper washers. A little prying with a screwdriver and tapping with a plastic hammer seemed to remedy this. After removing the grip screw, we noticed that the panel would not come off. The grip was glued or epoxied to the frame. That’s what we thought going into this, but the Bubba who repaired this one made the task not so simple. We wanted to restore it and by now you are probably thinking, “Big deal, you replaced a grip panel”.
