When the 2 halfs of the Infinity grip fitted together on my RV-7, there was about a 1/32 inch gap between the two halves that I was unwilling to tolerate. Removal of the paint was recommended by the supplier who, as noted by others, is very happy to discuss the details of installation of the grips and a variety of other topics.

FWIW, I just did mine on the -10, and the 7/8 bushing and grip fit fine over the PC'd stick. Looks great. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all those extra buttons.

But to the OP, I put a stock (ordered from ACS) Infinity grip on my -8 six or seven years ago with no modifications to stick or grip. Installed a similar stock Infinity on the -3 project a couple of months ago - again, no mods - no problem.

I can't dissagree but, he will put in the time to get you what you want.

Default Order Forms

Ironflight and bkthomps == EXACTLY!

(Billy Mays - that's funny!) I gave the order form my best shot and sent it off. Sometime later he called me to confirm, and of course, I had some of it wrong. He asked me if I had suggestions to make his web site better. I launched into what "I" thought and then he proceeded to spend the next thirty minutes defending why he did it his way and why it works so well and I'm just hanging on to the phone. So there you go. Call the guy, he does love his product and loves to talk. And, you're gonna loooooove the stick.
