I for one do not use old door handles or reuse any pot metal castings. Door handles are made of pot metal and with age they turn brittle and break as I found. Had my handles plated and the first summer one broke in use. Contact Mike Butters cell 289-251-2753 home 905-372-6926 email nbutters@eagle.ca He did the castings for my 1930 Cadillac inside and out. Mike is making my windshield riser handles and gears right now that has the rare script in it. If you talk to Sunny Elliott or Jeffrey Pearson in Kansas City Kansas 12 & 16 cyl restorers they will also recommend Mike as doing top detail work. Mike is very reasonable and you are also getting a 35% discount on the Canadian dollar exchange. This is not part time for Mike as he is full time castings.

If you haven't found what you are looking for from the people suggested above, I have most of what you need. I have an extremely large collection of parts for 1918-1931 Lasalles. I just cast a full set of interior door and window handles. I cast lost wax reproduction parts in bronze. I had a set made and chrome plated in September. I also have steering column throttle parts including horn button sockets, throttle levers, spider gears for the center pieces, light switch bases and the throttle great for the bottom of the steering column.

I believe the fellow is building a rat rod of some type so the shopping list will be different than most 29 Cadillac's and that is fine.
