Get along for a look. Ken Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: fcwrangler on October 31, 2011, 04:49:25 PM Not in a club as yet, but they look great in the pics. Any idea on cost and availability as yet.

Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: Old_Mt_Isa_Boy on October 31, 2011, 07:24:55 PM Ken they look great in the photo. Hopefully not to long before they are on the shelf. Hopefully at a reasonable price.
Good stuff Ken. Regards Wayne b Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: mcl1959 on October 31, 2011, 07:51:32 PM The FE bonnet emblems are due about Christmas time - price around $70 for club members. The handles will be $120 a pair for club members.
Ken Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: snuff69 on October 31, 2011, 08:01:03 PM Thanks Ken Dave
Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: FCRB26 on October 31, 2011, 08:27:46 PM Not a bad price i would take 6
Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: fe1957 on October 31, 2011, 11:01:37 PM Ken they look fantastic, well done too all involved.
grant Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: fcwrangler on November 09, 2011, 07:14:36 AM Had a chance to look at the new handle last night at the NSW Club meeting, they are a great looking unit I would think that for the price why would anyone want to get their old ones rechromed!!!! Fantastic job to all concerned.
Regards Jim Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: moetstockie on January 24, 2012, 06:59:08 AM How is the supply of these door handles going. Also the bonnet emblem. Please let me know as It's not long 'til i put my new door cards in and it would be good timing to replace door handles before then. I am a memeber of Toowoomba FX FJ club....does that count ?? Cheers Moe`t FE wagon
Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: mcl1959 on January 24, 2012, 11:18:51 AM I have spoken to Rare Spares and the floods in Thailand have caused a major delay in everything coming out of the region. Infrastructure has been severely damaged and 3 to 4 month delays seem to be the norm for small manufacturing concerns. It seems that the door handles will be in the next container load at the end of February and bonnet emblems maybe after that.
Ken Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: zl296 on January 24, 2012, 12:46:23 PM thats not to bad...
l have to wait 18 months for my tyres... ::) Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: snuff69 on January 24, 2012, 08:31:01 PM Thanks for the upate Ken. I'm sweatin on those bonnet emblems. Dave
Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: moetstockie on January 24, 2012, 09:15:32 PM Thanks for the update Ken. Will certainly look at door handles as the old ones look like a bad case of acne. Cheers Moe`t
Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: fcwrangler on March 23, 2012, 07:20:37 PM Ken, any news on the door handles as yet.
REGARDS Jim Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: mcl1959 on March 23, 2012, 09:51:20 PM Theyare supposed to be inthe Feb container - it takes a while to ship and clear customs. The suppliers are never really accurate about what is and isnt in the container. Rare Spares sometimes only find out what is in the container when they open it.
Ken Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: les on May 17, 2012, 05:16:13 PM I have been told that the container containing the FC door hanles arrived today they should be in stock next week
Les Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: black57 on May 17, 2012, 08:55:37 PM Awesome. Still looking at about $120 a pair?
Pinky. Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: 2brite on May 17, 2012, 09:06:26 PM Ken rolled up to our tent at the Nationals and showed us the handles.
Awesome reproductions looked and felt great Better than trying to find a pair and getting them chromed My 2 cents Nunzio Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: Termite on May 30, 2012, 07:28:54 PM Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: mcl1959 on June 01, 2012, 08:44:10 PM The Vic club now has our supply of handles ready to go ;D
Ken Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: collecta on June 01, 2012, 11:58:05 PM Ken,
will they be $120 a pair as earlier suggested. Scott Title: Re: outside door handles Post by: mcl1959 on June 02, 2012, 06:28:56 PM Yes they will be, car clubs can approach the Vic club in order to get a better deal by buying in quantity.
