| Hi Guys hope this helps, its a pain when the old gripping hands go hard fingers snap off, when i was replacing the gripping hands i found the Pegs for the new ones are slightly bigger and it is a very tight fit and very hard to twist sometimes it splits the wrist hole , when doing this the 40th hands came off from there pegs so i glued them on to the old Pegs and they fit and move great twist good, Pair of new 40th GrippersVam no grippers,,, but you got to hand it to him Small Plastic Bottle Adhesive, and can is the Activator Hold the peg between fnger and thumb tight, and with the other hand between thumb and finger twist and pull there will be no damage to grippers. Adhesive to top of Peg as shown in photo.... NOTE keep Adhesive away from jointSpray Activator into grippers hole, and then push Gripper onto peg hold in position for about 10 seconds repeat process on the other hand and Vam with grippers is ready to go back into action It is alot better with the old pegs than the new ones well i hope this helps you guys out as ithas me with my vams _________________ Its better to Burn out than fade away

| Good step by step guide, wolfie, and a great idea! I've been doing that for ages, i even tried sanding down the new pegs, but they just pull out too easy. Your way is definitely the way to go _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation: | |
