2g Aluminum handles

*** I DO NOT MAKE THESE ANY LONGER***
Please see the Billet Aluminum Handles post if you want aluminum handles.
Here's one of those things that everyone needs! 2G Aluminum Door Handles. I am making them.
You will receive raw if not specified.

Shipping will be done by USPS priority. And I will only ship to the address in PayPal.

As of 2/1/19 I will only sell them in cups. It helps keep the fit and finish in check.

I don't plan to make any singles at this time, only pairs. These are built after they are paid for, so expect a 2-3 week lead time currently. These are made from 6061 aluminum that is water jet cut and then each handle is shaped by hand and then tig welded. They are post weld heat treated/aged, to restore the strength of the aluminum. There are slight variations in these handles as they are hand made.

All sets come with stainless hardware(4 bolts, 4 nuts and 8 washers) to install them into your cups.




These are pictures of the process.



This is the revised handle shape and fit.

 

If you're ready to order now without waiting for a group order. Every order will be shipped in a medium flat rate box, which is $13.65 in the U.S. Make sure to pay for goods and that your address is correct. I will only ship to the confirmed address in PayPal.

 

Here's what they look like painted.

 

If you know a way to make them perfect when doing it by hand please share. I'll be happy to change my methods to put out a better product.

 

The aluminum handle is thicker than the original plastic. Already Using a jig. Buying a router and related equipment would increase the cost of the handles more to offset the cost of the new tools. I'm not a professional at this and don't claim to be. But it does solve a problem. Once installed people won't have to deal with broken handles ever again.

 

Updated the original post with clarification, please let me know if you want added to the list!

 

list updated.

 

I updated the handle design to sharpen the angle at the back of the handle to fill the cup better.

 

This is the refined profile, the fit is much tighter on this revision.

 

So far, most people are opting not to wait.
Here's pre-sanding. I didn't snap any before paint.

 

updated the list.

 

I can polish other sets. I haven't done my own yet as time hasn't allowed me to.

 

If you 6 really want a set, now is the time. I have enough people lined up to get the cost to $135 shipped, PM or just go ahead and send payment. Make sure the PayPal address is correct! I will only ship to that address. I will be taking payments thru Friday then I will be taking a break from making these for a while.
