It was a while back but somebody (one of the suppliers) was selling neoprene (or similar) longer lasting ones. Can't remember which now.

I got one turned from Delrin (a black engineering plastic) from one of the American suppliers some years ago. I remember someone here supplying something similar or in aluminium (might rattle against the stick but nice and silver) but cannot remember who it was. Suggest you try a query on the FB Triumph TR7 Owners Page as it tends to get more coverage these days.
