I cannot dial in to what game these are for. No markings or part numbers inside or out, I believe they are grips from a JAMMA driver/racer but I've had no luck. Not Hydro Thunder or Arctic Thunder, not Cyber Sled or T-Mek. Anyone recognize these?

@DonPanetta can you work your magic here??

Well, if anyone needs spare set of used ones, let me know. The screws and one switch are included. Could use a good cleaning but good condition to my eye.
 
They're also used on Namco Starblade and Atari Roadblasters conversion kit panels (ded UR and cockpit Roadblasters controllers use Star Wars metal grips).

The plastic grips feel great if they're not worn out, but it's not uncommon that they wear out - they'll look fine from the outside. You'll want to inspect the plastic on the inside of the grips that clamps the mounting plate if you're sourcing a used set of these - they can wear out internally and then sit loose on the mounting where they will flop around just enough to be annoying.

Somebody out there has 3D printed the buttons as I have a set of them installed on one games that uses these, so there must be a file floating around somewhere...

Appreciate the heads up. I'm going to post them in the for sale section soon and will take good detailed pics.
