Hi guys.
[COLOR="Red"]This is not advertising or spam lol.[/COLOR]
I am in the process of having sets of lost wax cast 944 turbo (porsche engraved style) door handles done.
They are Going to be available in chrome or satin Black.
The twist is Iv had the pattern made from MK2 door handles so these are direct fitments and still retain your VW locks.
I haven't come up with a price for sets yet as I haven't priced the whole process yet.
I have a batch of 5 pairs being lost wax cast now as testers.
The 1st run will be 50 sets so i was wondering who would be interested in pencilling there names down for the 1st batch!
If there is enough interest i will look into the MK1 and even rear (non lock barrel ) pairs done for 4 doors.
Hope these are any use to anyone.
If so you can reply on here or PM me.
If you no anyone that would be interested in distribution or any v dub clubs could you please pass it on.?!
P.S. This project has come about as next door to my workshop is a pattern maker who I exchanged work for on his 74 911 RS to do the pattern for me on the mk2 handles.
Regards
Scott

Looks like advertising. :huh:
Why would you want door handles with Porsche information on them? It's quite obvious it's a Golf from the rest of the car.
-
Its quite a sort after mod to do but the andles are very hard to get.Sounds like it's a bit lost on you..
-
Anything to do with styling is lost on DH, he's a function over form kinda guy.
Oh, and the king of sarcasm...........
-
I quite like those, would look great on a Black Mk2 :lipsrsealed:

A bit of a gamble these handles as nothing works as well as OEM. You can pick up non script Porsche handles for little money.

Totally Agree... The Copy one from China are total rubbish - I've had at least 3 snap off...
So It will depend on what Mech the OP is planning on using...
If it's designed for the OEM handles it would be such a shame to butcher one to get the mech out and it not work properly!

All that effort and only 4-point harnesses, without proper harness bars in the cage frame.
Oh dear.
Does it actually race?
Has it been to the 'ring?
Have you thought about using it to push cruise liners into berths?
-
I've seen just the metal inserts for mine before, also seen stickers... Don't get it.. I understand some parts, wheels for example but door handles... Meh. :undecided:
-
These will be made from original mk2 handles but with the outside changed in the pattern so when they are cast it is exactly the same internally with just the appearance of 944 turbo from the outside.Its having 9444 handles with no mods and direct fit.

Proof is in the pudding, no one can say how they'll work, untill they're cast, machined, fitted up, and tested...
Love Dorset Horn btw :lipsrsealed:

Bet that Porsche was fast!
-
Any pic's on these.... As I'm not even sure what we are discussing.... :undecided:
-
I don't think there will be any pics yet, as they've not been made.
Not that he's advertising them, you understand.
-
The 1st batch of 5 is at the foundry, so as soon as they are back i will post up.I will transfer the pics of the pattern to photo bucket then post up. If handles and items snap then that's down to poor metals, china and ting tong stuff is well known for this.Hmm well you shouldn't ever have to "butcher" any part in or out of a component!! I am sure they don't have to butcher parts on assembly!
Diamond hell im sure your views and you car resemble your personality Bland!!!
You should post some pic so i can cast my eye over your work!! Those that can do those that can't and all that! lol

There is always one TOOL on the forum's that the only reaction and attention he can get is by slagging off or b!tching.
Build something,Discuss something interesting.

In fairness mate this is one of the most boring topics on this forum.
does anyone want any 944 style door handles?
'what are they like?'
dunno, havent made them yet but they will be good as oem
'are they as good as oem?'
im not sure, they should be, they havent been made yet
'what will they look like, got any pics?'
they havent been made yet, but still, does anyone want some?
:rolleyes: :lipsrsealed: :laugh:

Yuk - Looks like a MK3 Handle....
Only MK3 part I want is Top mounts.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
...and the weighted shift rods are all that mk3's are good for. The rest can get weighed in :grin:
Those Porsche handles are the same shape as mk2's but are fully metal and dont flex. Also no plastic inserts. Just need the mechanism pieces swapping and boyaw.
OEM clean sort of mod. :nerd:
-
Doesn't look bad at all, wouldn't want Porsche script on them though.
-
You can get genuine unscripted ones. I think the later 944s have the script and fetch silly money.
-
Make them, send me a set, I'll test them an it they're good I'll put them on my car an big them up
Can't get fairer than that
-

Sounds like an ace plan.
Great publicity.
Problem is I think he'll want money for them, Jord.
It's like he's advertising them. :shocked:

lets make it interesting This mk3
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.236787903026462.56444.100000857619006&type=3
is having a race at castle combe in june track day with two of my other customers (250bhp early civic) and (380bhp integra).
If you can build anything that would even come close to these three cars feel free to join the race!!!
I will put up £250.00 to your chosen charity if you can beat mk3 times!
-
So, you going to give Jord a set of handles for him to promote for you?
While your huge BHP figures are terribly impressive and I'm sure the cars are very fast I'll have to decline as I only tit about at track days. I presume this race is during a track day? If it is then you're going to be black flagged and tipped out of the day, as track days aren't for racing (as eny fule kno).
Unless of course you're recommending something in a formal race series, in which case off you go and check to see whether my Golf would be eligible in it. Normally there's a handicap system to bring driver skill to the fore instead of letting those waving large quantities of cash clean up.
Oh and if it rained I'd be pretty confident I'd best their laps times at Combe BTW.
I'll ask again - has the tugboat with all the pipes in it been to the 'ring?
-
I wanted these when I was 12

Looks like a no then Jord for the free sample handles.
Yep, 4WD in rain with a experienced driver will almost certainly win.
Tug boat at the ring? I have got a no in the tick box. Maybe been around the 'Wight' in a boat race though?

Bah! Then theyre forever sh!t!

It's OK - he's not advertising them anyway.
