Searching for an older plastic inner door handle that came on 73 RS lightweights.
The new repo ones are matte black and rather flimsy.
Original ones were more of a smooth gloss and a bit more stout.
Appreciate any leads.

If it's not a real lightweight RS, why not consider a modern recreation of the notoriously weak original Fiat plastic gibblets. Have you seen WEVO's new forged aluminum handles, available in three finishes. Clear anodized, black anodized and unfinished ( which you can beadblast or polish. They look quite close to the original bits, but will last forever.
You can see them here: http://www.wevo.com/WevoContact.htm

Thanks all, the Sierra Madre ones are definately repo and it needs to be OEM as it will go in a real RS.
Edmond Harris sells them, but the cost is as much as an RS!
The search goes on.

Yes, in the past couple of years it has become increasingly difficult to find the correct original (Fiat) handles - as you say, the repro ones are inferior quality with a more 'satin' finish to the plastic & they don't swivel smoothly either.

Hayden Burvill (WEVO) is making an exquisite billetted aluminum handle that replaces the original. Not repro, just better.
