RSR plastic outer door handle - available?

[TRE Cup]

yes, there are indeed the same black 74 on look made in plastic. Very few cars got these and would have probably got themselves in trouble if the tech inspectors paid attention

Carl Thompson , Vasek's right hand man in the competition department, pointed them out when I was checking the car

What 3D printer did you get? And what CAD programs can you accept output from?

Dave, good to know, thanks.

I know Mike made the some of the lock type ones, like on top of the pic I posted. I also suggest he uses some fiber reinforced stuff, which is far superior to ABS etc. what 3D printers use.

However, the problem is not to print, but who makes the CAD file? I thought about buying a printer a year ago, but after reading a lot about, I decided to stay away (at least for a while), ask one who learned CAD how long it takes to be familar enough with the software to create your own stuff. Reminds me on excel...

I have a spare pair. PM me for details.

Just to clarify what I am looking for. Later style with little little lever (stock part) to open, not pushing lock:

[javadog]

I am also looking for the later style, which is why I started this thread...

JR

[911 tweaks]

add me to the list if anyone knows who makes such as JR & PF are seeking...thx, bob

[proffighter]

Still no one made some? No answer from Mike since a while now

I thought GT Race or Getty made these?

These are the R push-knob handles.

what the TS an me look for is the later 74-86 ahndles in plastic

but I guess I'll have to make my own.

[911pcars]

From posts I’ve read, it seems these (or some) handles can be modified to work with later latch mechanisms. You may want to call a source and/or explore further before looking for a bolt-on solution for your MY.

The factory race department usually used the later style handles with a non locking piece of spring loaded pin like the 911R. The 2.1 turbo RSR , that i saw at Vasek's back in the day, had a piece of aluminum in place of the lock cylinder on it's plastic door handles- no lever to release

[Flieger]

Bringing this thread back from the dead as I'd also like to get some plastic door handles that used the lock mechanism and were trigger-style. I have seen that the 911R handles can be modified to use the stock lock mechanism (presuming one has the push-buttons to begin with) but I think the trigger style look a bit better and are a bit safer.

Maybe it's time to laser scan and throw it in CAD. I've got Solidworks and a 3D printer but no laser scanner, and my 3D printer doesn't make structural parts.

[Showdown]

I have a 3D scanner and if someone can get me a part I’d happily scan it. Of course it’ll require some clean up and modification but if you can work Solid Works it should be no problem.

Printing via a service like Shapeways or 3D hubs is pretty easy- I’ve used them for parts and it’s really affordable, so long as you aren’t printing platinum or gold.

[Flieger]

Well I've got one handle that's not on the car and could ship if there's interest from more people, or we could work out a deal to get a repro one or other one from the classifieds that is closer to you.

I've had good luck with MJF nylon from Forecast 3D but with a CAD file we could even do them out of solid delrin.
