Adding the Grivel Trigger to Quark

Recommended Posts

After a trip to Ouray with my pal, Andy, I decided to try a set of Grivel Triggers on my Quarks. He'd fitted a set of the yellow (smaller diameter) version to his.

 

Along the way, he said that the smaller version cut into his grip, causing some damage, so I picked up a pair of the larger version, that uses a rubber spacer underneath.

Here's what I ended up using (forgot to include the phillips screwdriver in the picture, for use with the machine screw).

Knowing that the outer plastic pieces would interfere with the grip, I went to good 'ole Home Depot and picked out a couple machine screws that work with the locknut included with the Grivel Trigger kit. Used with the needle nose vise grips to bring the brackets close together, the 5mm x 16mm size was perfect.

 

As it turns out, the wrench included with my G14s fit the nut perfectly (not surprisingly). It's an 8mm wrench.

I used blue Loctite on the threads, and screwed it together. Worked very nice.

I wrapped some electical tape (some big-diameter shrink tubing would probably work well, too) around the sharp bits, and now it's pretty glove-friendly, and the bracket-area isn't really big enough to impede the ergonomics. Next week should test that theory, though.
