It has taken me almost a year to buy one of these 2nd hand & I had to pay £95 for it just a few weeks ago. I would seriously consider buying a new one as they are rare as hens teeth 2nd hand & command a premium price because of the scarcity.

It would be interesting if you could post some pics here. Quite a few people have K10D's and grips and because GX20's are usually a lot cheaper than K20D's it would be very useful information. Someone may even be able to suggest an improvement.

Here are some pics.I hope this makes it a little clearer.Remember the grip does work straight out of the box but you do need to screw it in very tight.With these mods it all goes together much easier.

First pic shows difference before and after filing,the one on the left has obviously been done.
Second pic shows where the front of the grip needs a little bit of work aswell,didn't show upo too well in photo though so I have poited it out.

Last pic lets you see why it needed doin in the first place.

Hope this helps
