Well, they seem to be the same size Roy uses on the Kobold clip D-Ring, since they are touching or almost touching both ends of the cut made on the grip, I have ones purchased from Wannawanga and placed them against my lightsaber with Hex screws to compare size, but i'm at work right now, will check again when i'm back home.

I'm with you. JJ made a big point in the panel at comicon about physical lighting and shadows of real things and how when there's too much cg it doesn't have the right effect

Well I took measurements and the rivets are 7.5mm aprox, the space on the grips I have which I have no idea who made them since I purchased the saber converted, is 9.5mm, that's 1mm space on top and bottom but it is still not close to what's in the picture, the sides seem fine but on top and bottom there is still a noticeable gap, I'm guessing the cut on the grips is less than 9.5 mm as can be noticed in the fourth image since the Hex Screws also seem to fill the space between, even though it's a different type of grip.

No ... your guess is as good as mine
On the OT sabers they were about 9.25 cm, leaving just a bit of room to open up the 3 cell bottom from the clamp.

Just to remind you . . . saberfreak's T-tracks were originally brown and had a slight yet distinguishable lift on one of the sides of the profile . . . and are about 11.5 mm wide ... GINO's T-tracks are black and are all flat and are about 13 mm wide ...
Both GINO's and Roy's have a so-called glue channel whereas saberfreaks does not . . . so to determine if any of the fanmade or found T-tracks were used ... we'd need a 3 cell bottom shot to see the side of those T-tracks more clearly

What is the source of the grips seen in these shots?
Thanks

I have nooo idea, they are 13mm wide, very stiff and made of rubber, not as floppy as Blast-Tech, the middle grooves are textured as to prevent slipping, very symmetrical and perfectly rounded at the bottom too, for me they are the perfect grips, like it came from a MR version; when I purchased the ESB conversion I asked the seller about the grips, he said he bought it from another guy who made sabers some time ago and no longer does, but they are not in anyway simillar to the ones described by Sym-Cha.

They don't really look like any of the above grips to me... they look really tall and thin.
Maybe because the base isn't as wide?
Could they be the slightly inaccurate, but actual t-track by Marv? ( I believe it was Marv who had them... Is Marv his name? Man, I'm tired and out of it today, heh)

You know what. I bet they're EDC studios grips.

No way. These new T-tracks are taller than all of the ones mentioned.
I just saw the close up pic of Finns pocket...
These are all new. Close in width to the original. But unless my eyes are playing tricks, the "fins" that stick out are taller and/or skinnier...
I have like 4 sets of "close to" t-track... Those aren't Saberfreak or Gino.

I agree. You can tell that those fins are very tall and hardly tapered, unlike the OT T-tracks (and mine)
