FD Aluminum INTERIOR Door Handle ! (Back!)
 

Hey guys, Jeremy "RotorMotor2" from Larson's Rotary Performance (LRP) asked me to post for him. His account and the door handle thread were deleted because of some kind of screw up by internet brands (the owners of the forums). Also he was not happy with the original sand cast aluminum door handle so he is going to be remaking it with a 3D laser scanner and in general rethinking some of the manufacturing to make sure the part is the highest quality possible. But the handle WILL still be made for certain, just the issue with the forums has to be worked out and it's taking longer than originally hoped, to make the part.

Cool, I was wondering where this went, PM me the contact info when they're ready. Thanks!

I want a pair. when will they be ready???????

At this point I think we'll have to say "they'll be done when they're done" because the plan is to make them as high quality as possible, which involves taking as much time as needed. However as a very rough timeline I do not think this project will take as long as a year.

still interested as well. Whenever, they come available.

Well I had to create A brand new account on here and SOO far all that Internet brands is currently able to do about my account or ANY of my old posts OR threads is reset my user Join date and my post count and they are currently working to see if they can talk to the network techs to see if they can restore anything else which might be a very server intensive project that they may not care much to do.

I ask for all of your help to find any old information regarding this thread and direct it to me at LarsonsRotary@gmail.com.

the main person who has been helping me to restore my stuff is Adrian Harris at internet brands. I believe he is the manager and can be reached at adrian.harris@internetbrands.com

thanks,

Fwiw, I saw the prototype part in person a few weeks ago. It looks incredibly like the stock piece. This should be pretty cool when its done.

Very interested, please pm me the info when they are ready.

in as well, my passenger handle just broke

Any pics?

I'm interested for a set as well

I'll take one. Do you think the aluminum handle will make the other plastic part more prone to breaking since the force from the pull will not be decreased by the flex of the original plastic part?

Just to make sure we're on the same page this GB is for the passenger side "Oh S***" handle/grip, not the door pulls used to open the doors.

But no, the part mounts directly to the door so it is very strong.

this correct?

Hello ALL,
Here is just one picture of a prototype. I have many more information and pictures and options available for everybody but that is not what I am trying to do right now. i am not even trying to finsih my interest list. this thread is a temporary thread in order to gather all my origional thread information in order to re-create the origional interest list thread. can you please help me by reading my last post and seing what you can compile for me?

thanks,
Jeremy

I'm VERY interested in this. I hate having passengers get in and pulling on the already broken handle :(

Correct on what I was talking about. I didnt know that it mounds directly to the door. That is freaking awesome.

This looks like a good quality part. I assume all of the mounting holes where the handle bolts on will be made of aluminum too? If this is the case, then this door handle in theory should never break. Do you have a rough estimate to how much it will cost? if it's anywhere from $200-350, then im down.

My dream is to one day NOT have to say to my passengers " Oh ya when you close the door make sure you DONT grab onto the door handle, grab onto the other part" :lol:

put me down

im interested in it.

I'm definitely interested too.

I want in on this too.

Help!

im interested again as well

im interested as long as the price is right, unless i missed it, you still havent given an estimated price

Black one would go better with my tan interior. Handle is currently loose and I was going to attempt a quick fix in the near future

Everybody please be patient, The reason I am not answering ANY questions is because I have been trying to re-compile my old deleted thread WHICH has any and all the information anybody would need such as styles and est price etc. etc.
So I will say this again, THIS thread is for RE-BUILDING my old thread and any information regarding my OLD thread. the faster I get all my information back the faster you will get your questions answered.
ALL the members on the list from #1 to #18 were ALL FROM the original thread. If they could chime in and help that would be great!
Thanks for understanding,
Jeremy

still watching and interested...

Count me in if the price is right!

im interested in one if its possible

Count me in as well :)

This is promising.
I may be interested in 2 of them all depends on final design,quality and price.
As another note, some Black powder coating and it will look stock.

BTW...Great work so far

Sorry, but I tend to keep my deleted items folder relatively clean. No old posts from here. :(

I am still interested... hopefully this will be in production soon.

interested
 

I'm interested! My stock one is still in awesome shape, but I'd love to not have to worry about it anymore!

BizarroTerl: Thank you very much for staying on topic and for looking in your e-mail for me, Were you on the origional list? if so what number were you? what features did you want etc. do you remember?

#14 on the list. I'll order if you can keep it below $500.

If the price is $200-250 then im willing to put all my other plans aside, and buy this right away, because that would be an awesome deal. I would love to not have to tell my passengers to be careful with the door handle and to"Grab onto the other part". I would love it if they could just get in the car close the door and I dont gotta be scared anything is gonna break lol

I'm interested. I don't have to tell passengers to pull on something other than the handle because mine has already completely broken off.

only in the FD world would someone pay $500 for a door handle... :lol: :weed:

I say you'd be hard pressed to get many ppl to actually go through with this GB and pay up if it's over $100... it's a door handle.

anyways, start a new thread with all info and let's get it goin!!

It's just a handle until it's broken. Then it's a pain in the a%% every time someone's getting into the passenger seat or they're in the passenger seat and you get on it.
