Thanks for the support!
Feel free to mention it to your friends.
If you have questions feel free to ask regarding pricing / process etc
IF FOR ANY REASON THE HANDLE FAILS I WILL REPLACE IT AT NO COST.
PRICE $75.00 with your core + an extra core provided.
PRICE= $ 85.00 + Your Handle Core
CORE= + $10.00 If you don't provide a core.
1 EXTRA CORE = You will get a $10.00 Credit to your purchase. LIMIT IS 1 // Handle price will drop to $ 75.00
OPTIONAL COMPLETE PAINT STRIP FOR NON MATCHING CORE COLOR $5.00
!!! KEY TUMBLER AND ALARM ELECTRONICS MUST BE REMOVED !!!

hmm, i was considering updating them and casting them in aluminum but this doesn't give me confidence it's worth my time.
but i don't quite understand the necessity of a core for a cast part, infinite amounts can be made from one original. but at 10 bucks i can't picture that as a reason for lack of interest.
i've broken handles, it happens quite easily if you aren't paying attention and yank just a little too hard. even with everything working exactly as it should. i actually rather hate the fact that i have to treat the handle with kid gloves every single time i use it. i even find myself getting annoyed at passengers who aren't knowledgable of the issue too.

Awesome video for anyone at home who might want to try and tackle this themselves. Grant Thompson shows how to build a foundry to melt aluminum, and then its as simple as forming a sand cast mold of a handle. My guess is a half/half sand casting would work best.
This video is a little more advanced, since we dont need any cavities inside anywhere.

86-92 Door and Window Parts
You know you've got a captive audience of FC owners that keep swapping broken handles for almost-broken handles, and we're running out of almost-broken handles pretty quickly.

I would still be interested considering the oem ones are starting to be impossible to find new.
