Grip, Rubber 7/8
As mentioned by others, PTT can be installed on top of grip, just be careful or will compromise the top of the grip. Went through one grip when trying to drill and twisted top off the grip. Otherwise looks, feels, and works great!
I agree with Pat F. I used a 1 wood boring bit on my hand held drill to CAREFULLY open up a hole on the closed end. Now my RV-12 flap handle is much more better looking!
Open the closed end (carefully) and it works perfect for the RV-12 flap handle.
Fit control stalk beautifully. Unfortunately, the undrilled end is 0.41 inches thick and PTT switch only has about 0.2 inch thread requiring a lot of blind countersinking on inside of grip. After about 3 hrs work , they look and work great.

No, these grips do not have a hole in the top for a switch. Any hole for a switch would need to be cut out by the installer.
Yes, that is correct, or in other words the outside diameter of the stick tube.
