Flap switch shape

[jcbarker]

Anyone come up with an alternative to the little skinny flap switch on the top of the Tosten stick grip? I find it very uncomfortable. It's too "pointy". Something more rounded or paddle shaped?

Youser! Mouser. Nice switches but $85 per? I'll keep looking. I think I'll give Kevin a call. See what he says.

Those boots are WAY too big! I thought about potting them with RTV but I don't think that would last.

Don't, use these https://a.co/d/0cCM7DE6

2 sizes, multiple colors and 9 bucks no freight. See post 3.



Infinity Aerospace makes a "better" shaped paddle switch you can swap out with and then add the cap:

Sorry John. Here is the right link for the C&K switch boot. I have the same grips and checked the measurements. I’ll be ordering some of these for myself when they are back in stock next month.
FYI Tosten has changed the flap switch to an APEM switch which is supposed to be smoother action. You’d have to call Kevin for more details.

I bought a bag. Fit perfect. I did trim the open end so the boot wouldn't touch the edge of the hole. I also have flap switch on Tosten grips

Thanks Larry. I placed an order. I'll give them a try and report back.
