Who offered these door panels back in the day?, Aftermarket door panels in my 914-6 Options

[l.a.brooks]

When we bought the 914-6 from an estate a few months ago one of the first things I noticed was the door panels. Having never owned a 914-6 before I just thought they must have been upgraded by Porsche for the more expensive 6. My friend, who has owned many 914's said they were aftermarket and I'm confident that he is correct.

But who made them? They are very similar to the door panels in a mid-70's 911 so I'm guessing thats when they were produced.

Maybe JIM (Lucky9146) will chime in with pictures of his door panels.

Yes sir and I recall you commenting on them when you were here too. I just received the other early chrome window crank and door pull base from Garold (thanks!) yesterday. I like the early chrome versions and I had the one door pieces already so couldn't wait to install them last nite. Had to get pics off camera.
I love these door panels! What is especially cool is both sides are the same. They came with the project and I did not know where they came from so I am learning something here too. It is funny when I opened this thread I it was mine at first! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That is the passenger door handle on the drivers side door. The lock button should be on top.

Hmmmm Thanks Bruce funny because the other side looks the same (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) so I'd say they are reversed. Came that way, something else to correct! Errrr

I installed mine flipped as well...mostly due to being exhausted from a deadline handed down for a photo shoot for "European Car". We only had 3 days to fit doors, trunk lids, and interior for the cover shot in 1995. My buddy George Smith and I went 72 hours straight on finishing it, lots of mountain Dew and Jolt cola ! I find the door handle install unique, and don't mind it flipped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
