Door pockets aluminium trim reproduction

[Lazza911]

I would like to reproduce the aluminium trim of the 1969/1973 911 door pockets.
I need your help please: could someone be so kind to post a picture of the section of the trim, and take a couple of measures (height, width and alu thickness)?

Thanks a lot for what you could do: this thread could help someone else willing to do the same for it's 911 door pockets in need of repair.

why not start with buying some used parts as a sample?

I've tried searching on the web, but I wasn't lucky.
I'm looking for the alu trim only, not complete pockets: do you maybe have one?

Anyone willing to help? Alu trim measures or would be happy to buy an original trim!

PM me a shipping address and I'll send you an old beat up original one that came off my 69.
It looks like hell but will give you all the correct dimensions.
Since I looked for years for replacements, and didn't like what I found, I would believe there are quite a few cars out there that could use a quality reproduction.

I looked into this years ago - would take 3 different processes to duplicate. Extruding the proper cross section is the easy part. The sections then need to be bent with a 'pie slice' on the forward trim and a (hand?) process to close the end on the top trim. Then the parts need to be clear anodized. It is as they say non-trivial.

So, are the trim sets more important than another run of complete/separate door boxes? It seems to me that any time I see a pocket that needs new trim, the box itself is pretty beat up also, kind of negating the option of "rebuilding".
