i have a wooden Tgrip that came with my H2O Team C1 paddle.
i actually eneded up making some of my own.
problem with it is it has to be wrapped (its too small to fit in the shaft)(crazy Canadians). ha ha
its yours if you want it.

Oopsislipped or flipped,
I have several laying around, most are 1and 1/4 in diamiter and 4 an 1/4 long with 3/4 hole 13/16 deep. I made them to fit clinch river paddle shafts. You would have to glue it to another dowel and then insert it into the bandit shaft. Thats how I did mine and it seems to work well. I have spruce, cedar, oak, and some beautiful spalted dogwood. I assume straight with no taper. I also have the original bandit t-grip if you want it other wise you might have to do a little sanding to fit the dowel int the bandit shaft.
Whish I knew how to send pics but havent mastered that one yet. Be glad to send you something for free if you get me an address.

Gabe, did you find a t-grip? If not, I'm probably mixing some epoxy tomorrow or the next day. I could put one together for you if you give me the inside diameter of the shaft and the diameter of the grip you want. If you need a comparison, just go check out the one on the door stop that I made you - it had an 1.25 inch diameter t-grip.
