Changing Grips on a Mini-Griptilian

It is pretty easy and straight forward. Just don't mess with the Omega springs if you can help it. They can be delicate and a huge PITA to replace.
 
Is it just removing the screws around the outside and so on (I believe trox) and swapping the parts the covers from one to the next?

With a T10 Torx driver, remove the pivot screw. With a T6 Torx driver, remove the pocket clip and scale screws. Swap the handles, reassemble.

Oh man that is perfect! Thanks!!!! I would love to get my hands on a few pairs of G10 however looking at the guts of the Mini-Grip I cant justify the cost. Aftering seeing how much material is inside I dont think it would be that strong, for the steel liners are the weakest part. I might actually cut some titanium replacements and see if I can get my hands on some g10 as well. Nice to have a CNC at my disposal...solidworks and some good guys to work with.

Whatever you end up doing, take some pictures along the way. I'd love to see some good old fashioned machining and the end result of course. :)

I will started pricing G10...holy expensive because the minimums start around 500. I can get quite a few handles out of it. There are a few different G10s out there. I need to figure out which ones to use. But I will also do the metal as well. I have a laser for cutter to use as well. I will be redesigning the stainless liners to take up more of the handle and skeletonize them a little for weight. I would like titanium but I dont have access to a waterjet cutter. Fasteners are another story as well. For fun I will try and objet the parts ahead of time. Might even change the shape a little for fun. Hopefully I havent gotten in over my head. I think it is a good winter project, if I can pull it off.
