914World.com _ 914World Garage _ damn pot metal parts

Posted by: bd1308 Apr 16 2005, 10:42 AM

my driver door handle attachment point (where the bolt is) is starting to crack pretty big....does ANYBODY make good metal replacement parts for these things?

Someone here has a repair for those....URY914 IIRC

Common breakage area....when ANY of mine break I toss them in a pile and then scavenge parts....sometimes the flapper breaks....I have had SOME luck with a spot weld.

i talked to DDD about that awhile back and he suggested that some people layer sheets of epoxy and metal together to make a repair sandwich....but i dunno. I'd rather have a set machined from billet ONCE and be done with it.

That's cool and all--but how much would you pay for it?

(Thought so.)

Check in the "club member parts" section; one of the guys around here is rebuilding/fixing up the old outer door handles.

Don't everyone want $500 worth of door handles?

it might be a good canidate for PM, or powdered metal forming...

Would aluminum work good? Then polished or chromed? That would be spiffy and lighter.

I can fix them. I use two pieces of aluminum.

PM me.
