Do you know if they still have the blue prints for them and still make them? 1 hour ago, Metalbasher said: I notice one of those is included in this mixed bag of bits on Ebay.. That looks like the surround for the slide lock on the door card, not the door handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanG Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago There is a thread on here “1976 Cavalier Door Pull Trim” dunno how to link it. CAD file is in the thread, they do require fettling to fit but end result is good. I used Aurora. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Are the earlier ones different ? Surprised no one has remade these, even before 3D print days. The chrome effect, metallisation is very expensive for low volume manufacturing. Which in itself is surprising given all the green modern plastic cars of lately with fake chrome plastic stuff 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clip on the door trim, later ones are moulded differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so I can keep an eye out for the right one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
