here are some pictures of the reproduction Exterior Door Handles sold by Pelican Parts. All in all the look pretty good for the price. I will hold final judgement for when I install them and use them for a while. Here are some pix

I'd be suspect of that door lock bushing. Looks like a straight piece of tube. I know these should have a step in them. From what I've seen of these the finish is not quite right. It's 95%. Looks like is pretty good, but they needed one more stage on the outer finish as you can see the machine marks if you look closely. But for a DD no problem.

Do tell! Is that the plastic sleeve you sell? If so, would changing that sleeve make it OK? PS< received my order in full, Thx Mark.

I actually machined an aluminum bushing as with grease over time the plastic breaks down. What I was concerned about was the piece I can see in the picture just looks like a straight tube. It may fill the bap, but I'm curious as if it has more play in it than it should.
I do make the door cams also, but this appears adequate.
