Paperboy Grips (Original Light Blue)

[Daviea]

Does anyone have an original light blue grip that's used on the Paperboy controller? I need one to color match against. Doesn't matter how tweaked it is as long as it's an original blue one that I can get a good color match off of.

Note: if it's really messed up, I would probably need to cut into it so I could see the original color inside of it.

Keep in mind that there is a dark blue one and a light blue one. The *original* grip (which is what I am looking for) was the light blue version. It seems impossible to find one of these, but I have not given up yet. I'd rather not use creative license on this one and find an OEM part to color match against if at all possible.

Compensation for the help: Free set of reproduction light blue grips just as soon as I get them.

Thanks

Dave

Dave,

I had a pair I gave to "RadArcade" here on KLOV. PM him and see if he still has em.

Thanks Jow. I just PM'd him. I'll keep my fingered crossed.

Anyone else have any leads? There's got to be some original light blue Paperboy grips out there somewhere. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Hey Dave... the SW yokes ready to ship next week? I can't wait to see folks starting to get theirs...

Pretty much, they're just being wired up right now. No biggie.

That is good news!
You took that project in just a few months (I know the most parts were already completed), very impressive!

I'll be digging through some things this weekend. I believe I have a pair of original light blue grips that I don't need but need to confirm. If I have them I'll send you one that you can feel free to do whatever you pleas with.

If someone repro'ed these at a reasonable price, I would love them forever! My grips are so shot...

Surely I can't be the only one who thinks the original grips are uncomfortable?

After replacing my limited edition "UV Green" grips with new light blue grips of a different pattern, our scores and comfort level went up.

I have some left that I took off of my Paperboy. Pm me your address if you still need some and I will send them to you.

Hunt-Wilde sold their patents to other companies... someone might want to check on that...
