Got the 3D printed test parts today. Everything looks perfect!

Been waiting for someone to do this for nearly 15 years; I'm definitely interested. Are the bezels you provide for additional expense plastic aftermarket or oem?

 

[rabenne]

No aluminum prototypes yet?

 

[b00st3d]

I assembled them last night and the arms and the fit there is perfect. I have to make a minor change before the production run. The nose of the handle touches.

Aluminum singles are very expensive to produce 1 at a time. (a little more than double the normal cost). I won't make aluminum till I know they are right. I've already got a lot invested in this.

 

[b00st3d]

It is about 1mm too long.

The bezels are aftermarket. Only way to get OEM now is thru STM and they are $100 each.

Many years ago someone made laser cut inserts the would reinforce the stock plastic handle. I bought a set and did this modification to a Dorman aftermarket handle. While the handle itself held up, it ended up breaking the inner uprights that the hinge passes through. Do you think the same will eventually happen with these aluminum handles, and if so, would there be any way to reinforce the hinge?

Circled area is where the hinge failed on my reinforced handle.

The bezel is the next weak link. No way around that unfortunately. I would do the bezel in aluminum too but those would cost more than the handles so people would have close to or even a little over $500 in door handles. It's just not worth the investment IMO to make aluminum bezels.

Anxious to see machined prototypes. Good work!

Yeah, fair. The metal inserted handles did last significantly longer than then the unmodified plastic handles, so these aluminum parts will be worth it regardless.

I forgot to post the pictures of the black anodized handle here. These things feel amazing!

So where is the list or when are you starting the list.

I’m in and if you sell them individually, then i want my set now Lol.

Let me know how and where to do the payment including the bezels.

 

[b00st3d]

No list for these. I ponied up the cash and am doing 50 sets with pockets and 20 sets without. These are available for purchase on my website now but will not ship until all are complete(Next week).

 

[b00st3d]

Here they are coming out of anodizing. You can see the Raw finish, Clear Anodized and black anodized. Clear is actually a grey finish.
