Also, does anyone know of a source for
a landing gear handle grip for

I've found control handle grips identical to those supplied on European
sailplanes by digging through the pile of bent and broken poles at the
rental shop of the local ski resort. Doesn't work in every case, but it
has worked for some.
Thanks, and best regards
