Is anybody reproducing the interior door handle as used on Ghia interior door panels used between 1960 and 1967?

The handle has a chrome strip that runs along the handle.

I believe 67 was a one year only armrest and the chrome strip was plastic coated with chrome.

I had a motorbike accident a few months back breaking my right shoulder and took the site down to do a rebuild and found it very hard to operate the mouse, now I’m playing work catch up, so I haven’t finished that project yet.

These are VW beetle rests I know, but you should be able to buy these second hand or the original style Ghia armrests (surely there are some Ghia rests on the second hand market) if you get some I can cover them for you and if need be, can fashion a moulding to fit the middle. All it will cost you will be the postage for each direction.

These thin armrests I have in stock but would need the material you have in you car to cover them or can supply the blank and you can get them covered by your trimmer.

let me know what you want and I will send you the price.
