i got it for such a good price it was deemed worth spending a few bob on it so i ordered a new set of rubber grips off a e/bay hong kong seller who unusually had a 100% feedback ,it took exactly a week for the grips to turn up this morning so i bit the bullet and started at 10 o'clock .its a bit daunting at first removing the rubbers but they peeled off easily ,i then cleaned up any surplus glue left behind and cleaned the edges with a metal probe ,(i must add i used to be model maker so i have lots of small tools ) and very sparing wipe over with sticky stuff remover finished the bodywork .
putting on the new rubbers was harder than it looked ,the supplier does say that the original glue is rubbish and supplies a micro film thin double sided tape ,but this has to be cut to fit the shapes of the grips ,some of which are very small ,after a hour i had the job finished and a camera that looks in top condition and must add at least £100 to the value for a £23 pound outlay .heres some pics of the before and afters
