I have one of these:

plug

which normal fits in the end of a drop bar. I want to use it on a flat bar with MTB grips.

Has anyone done this? The plastic 'wing' mounts (right of pic) mean that fitting a grip/lockon over it is, well, impossible unless I trim away the inside of the grip, which is gonna be tricky.

I could try and fit it without the 'wing' mounts but it's not obvious how it would stay put then... mmm any ideas?

I've not found a compatible grip yet, and I doubt I will.

It can be done.

There was someone, possibly on MTBR or Weight Weenies, who fitted one in the and of a flat bar. I think he needed to file it doen a bit to fit but I can't remember the exact details.

I've managed to make a shim for it, so that it slots into the end of the bar, yet is protected to some extent. Hopefully this will do the job.
