Subject: Re: Outer Door Handles & Bakerlite Horn Shaped Inner Door Locks
I think you are 100% correct, and the shape at the top appears to be most unsual.
Like so many parts on this car, they have been sourced from a variety of places, and were I believe bought in, in small batches.
Not economical for AM to have made them in such a small batch, the tooling and mould cost would have been to high
I can tell you that they are not the same as those in a 1960's, Jaguar, Ford or Alvis and I suspect that you are pretty spot on, with Mercedes, a good choice. How about the VW Karman Ghia as well or other large volume manufacturers of the period ?
