Default P1800 door handles

Looking for both sides exterior door handles for a '64 car (the rounded ones).
Any condition considered.

Thanks,

Gordon

Gordon-

I'm a bit suprised no on else has offered up. I've got a few around. The attached photos are a set on a parts car down in the field. I would say they are 90%. No pits or zits in the chrome but some tiny black crazing. Good daily driver level of quality on this set. Does this make sense? Photos are not great but it's always hard to photograph chrome. They are better than the photos make them look.

I didn't have time to pull down the box of handles and see what is in there. Might have some better ones. Are you looking for something that works? Daily Driver? Show ready? Do you need the guts or just the main body?

Would be hard or too expensive to mail a set across the pond.

Let me know.

Chris

That should read 'wouldn't be too hard or expensive to mail across the pond'

I hate the auto correct somedays...

Great news. Thanks.

It's for a restoration where all the other chrome will be re-done, so if you can find me a pair that doesn't need re-chroming then that would be ideal.
Otherwise, I'll just go with these and re-chrome if need be.
Let me know your price. Is Paypal (I'll give you a bit extra for the fees) going to be OK?

Thanks again,

Gordon

Doh!

Really sorry.
Thought I'd been through all the boxes of rubbish that came with this car.
Tucked away and wrapped up carefully in the bottom corner of a box I was going to throw out there are a pair of re-chromed handles!
Not perfect, but good enough for this car.

Hope you haven't wasted any time on this for me.

Thanks,

Gordon

No worries. I was going to try to get to that this evening. I will work on the '61 amazon in the shop instead. The cancer under the windshield seal was not as bad as expected but I still had to weld up a few holes and now need to rust coat all that.
