Everything is packed for shipment and going out tomorrow morning!! Thanks for everyone's patience and support to make this last production run possible. For any stragglers we've just got a few leftovers remaining. I took a couple for my own FD and a planned future FD.

We've once again received an overwhelming interest in bringing back another run of these door handles. We'll eat our previous statement, there seems to be a slow but consistent demand for these door handles... however we do realize that this is a once and done product, once you replace it it's done for the life of the car so there is a limited market, unlike a plastic handle this will never break.

If you guys want to do another round, lets see some numbers... please copy and paste this list and add your name.

Lots of folks frequent the Facebook site. Takes a while for them to come back across posts like these.
That's def a product you should stock. Folks don't know they need them till they break their handle and then they are pandering for them. It's always going to be a slow and steady need for this item in my opinion.

I agree there, however it's got to make sense to stock something if they're expensive to manufacture and need to be made in large quantities. 50 piece runs (which is a very very small quantity for this process) adds up to the cost of a very well sorted FD sitting on the shelf . Multiply that by each of the parts/kits we make and divide by the fact that we're a very small operation in an extraordinarily small market, and we have to VERY carefully pick and choose what we keep and what we let go. If it costs too much to produce or the interest drops off, that part has to go away as well. Even Mazda does this (many FD parts are NLA) and they're a massive corporation

It's a sad reality but it's true... customers in small markets need to vote for products with their orders!
