door handles

SpawnAeroJohn · 09-18-2009, 05:42 PM

I have a member of the forum scheduled to have door handles bought and sent to us to have them wrapped in carbon fiber. No they wont be rubbing since we shave off the edges a mm so when we apply the carbon fiber fabric and several layers of resin over the top it brings the size back to its original measurements.

If he follows through I will post pics of the finished prototype. The door handles are pretty cheap. Just short of $120.

There is no reason why it's not possible, but the money/effort required to retrofit them would render it senseless.

That would be crazy money I'm guessing. If they were at least similar in shape, maybe it would just be a matter of widening or lengthening a whole, but these designs are completely different.
