Re: Billet 60-66 Door Handles

Great Ideas Guys

The main reasoning behind not adding the door locks was the increased cost and complexity to the part. As for the finish the pictures don't do the handles much justice. They very smooth and we wanted to leave the machining lines to show that they are Billet Machined Parts not just some Die Cast and Chrome Plated Chinese parts. With some red Scotch Brite and a little elbow grease they can have a brushed look.

Maybe down the road we can come up with some kind of simple locking mechanism for them. Most of the guys who have been buying them don't seem to worried about having a lock though, so we will see. It is also possible to play with some different finishing processes that might give them have a different look.

Here is a polished door handle next to a black anodized handle. Did a quick polish job and they look pretty good.
