door handle ideas needed
« on: November 21, 2012, 06:45:10 AM »
While the idea of shaved handles looks really good in reality they are a real pain.

Anyone have any ideas for door handles (just for front doors). I'm using renault door latches so just about anything but bedford will work.
I want something small and probably recessed, will be painted, doesn't have to have a keylock

Cheers
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

more subtile then that?

You have to fit your fingers behind the door to pull the handle so you need that minimum concave space.

Here is a closer shot at the cut out you would need to do in the B pillar area behind the door.

I'm going to do the opposite to what you guys are doing. I'm going to fit some great big stainless handles off a truck  ;D
