Default Delrin **** Mod

Anyone try sandpapering up a Delrin **** for a better grip. I've noticed mine can get slippery because it's so smooth.

I found the action of my hand changing gears has polished the **** but I only had a problem once on the hottest day of the year when I was at a drag race. I'm thinking about looping a few elastic bands around the **** next time I go to the drag strip.

(just proof read this and am glad that I'm not posting in off topic !)

I'm wondering if anyone makes a black rubber sleeve that can be put around the Delrin. Kind of like those rubber sleeves they make for handgun grips.

Haha! Good catch. And he did this at a drag race no less. Gives new meaning to the term 'hole shot'.
