Jeff,

I was wondering if Hireko offered any grip displays and if you don't do you know how I can acquire some.

Thanks
Chad

If you are looking for the professional looking clear plastic displays, we do not offer them. You may be able to contact the grip manufacturers to see if they have anything or do like we did in the stone age and just grip them on old steel shafts and place them on wooden dowels.

One thing I did that works great is took an old 2x8, stained it, put some old table urethane I had on it to make it shinyish, drilled about 10 quarter inch to 3/8 inch holes in it, bought some cheap dowel rods from Wal-Mart's craft section, cut em all to about the same 8 inch length, and jammed em in those holes with some wood glue.

Took some old cheapie grips, put them on some old shaft pulls, and cut them all at 14 inches, and then put several layers of masking tape under each grip to let people feel and easily explain how tape effects grip size.

I had originally built it with plans to get another prettier one in the future, but there's absolutely no need for anything better. This one works and looks fine.

Total cost of it can't be more than 10 bucks, and honestly, you could probably find the wood laying around, and just have to buy the dowel rods and do it all for about 2-4 bucks
