Tony,
When going with other than the MAC style stick grips, you are in custom
territory.
I have had custom bending and welding done with a stud, and also with a
military style multipin connector in the top of a stick. I find that custom
stick grips usually come with proper spacers for 1 and 7/8 inch tubes. I
would bet that the stick manufacturer has a solution to the fitting, but not
the cockpit clearances.
The issue, as you have found, is the cockpit clearance is going to require
you to replace your sticks with custom bends to allow the grip head, at your
comfortable flying position, to give clearance all around the cockpit.
Nothing worse than testing an aircraft whose control limit stops are the
panel and persons anatomy. Also check the passenger side as well.
Regards,
Bud Yerly
