    door handles- lightweight/ drilled

    Hi,
    can somebody point me in the right direction- its a great look i'd like to replicate these handles and having trouble getting a company (in Oz) to plate cast once i've drilled the handles, almost certain i pulled the photos off EarlyS, is somebody producing these?
    thanks,
    craig

    Dave at TRE did mine, and they came out excellent. If you have a nice pair of chrome ones, it may make more sense to source a used set of dull painted ones here, and have them drilled and plated here to save on shipping cost from Oz.

    I usually smile at drilled parts, too much work for not enough weight savings, but those are just plain beautiful. Time to call Dave at TRE and start saving $.
