Anybody know of a source for an inside door handle/pull made of billet aluminum? Not really interested in knowing the 17 different reasons why I shouldn't install such an aftermarket part or how bad it's gonna look.....simply looking for a source.

I've attached a small pic of the basic part I'm looking for just in case I'm calling it the wrong thing.

Thanks,

There are a few members on here who do CNC work, so maybe one of them can cut you some from raw billet, & start their own new repro part source to sell on here!?

For the strap route, you might check around for someone doing the RS door panels &/or just the straps for 911 &/or 914 ("look"), & maybe SMC, Stoddard's, etc. may have them from the 911RS parts bin.

Also, someone (914 A&P ? - 914Rubber?) was making the 914RS-look door panels with straps IIRC - if you want to kill all the birds with one stone on your customized door panels.

I'd have to hold one in my hands to see how feasible it really would be to make.... less that $10 in material but the setup can be a PITA. I like the idea of the 914RS panels and straps.

If you'd have any interest in taking a shot at CNC'-ing a pair of these, I'd be glad to take one of mine off and mail it to you. The part that I'd like to see made available is pretty much the stock look, only billet aluminum instead of chrome, "sans" the lines/ridges. In other words, a more "Spartan" version of the original, but cleaner IMHO.

PM me if you want me to send you my existing. I'd appreciate it, and would be willing to kick in some extra cash to offset some of your labor in getting things set up.
Thanks,
-Craig
