Will Minelab Foam Grip fit a Tesoro uMax??

[GeoW]

Have several Tesoro detectors in need of replacement foam grip handle. I am seeing the older model Minelab foam grip handles at most of the online shops and just wanted to ask if anyone had replaced the Tesoro grip with the Minelab one? And did it fit as it should?
Thanks all,
Geo

Dont know if they fit but from experience they are extremely hard to install with out tearing, I use to install them when I worked in Minelab repair center.

Have you considered using a tennis racket handle wrap? They work pretty good, and easy to install.. if you go to treasure related stuff for sale here, there is member who bought all of Tesoros remaining parts, he may have the grip on hand.

I considered the tennis racquet wrap but prefer the foam type. Looking at the Minelab ones as they seem to be a bit larger in diameter.
I have a couple Tesoro foam grips given to me by Rusty several years ago. He said soapy water to lube the grip and shaft and slide it on with one motion.
We'll see!

Thanks and HH,
Geo

Check out Mud Hole Tackle. They sell fishing rod making supplies and have a lot of foam grips for fishing rods in different sizes and colors. Lube with soap to slide on. They come with different size inner diameter holes, you may find something that fits. I build surf rods and think the larger diameter grips would work on detectors. Jann's Netcraft aslo sells fishing rod grips but I think Mud Hole may have a better selection. You can view Mud Hole items online at their website.
