ID this door handle


Recommended Posts

I also posted this on my restoration thread, but since we're on the subject...

 

My chrome plater informs me that my outside door handles are made up of two different materials and he can't chrome plate them with out taking them apart.  The top decorative part seems to be formed over the bottom piece.  I can see no possible way to take this assembly apart without destroying the handle.  Apparently there is a hollow space inside that traps some of the liquid chemicals used in the chrome process and they can't drain off.  When the part goes into the next tank, the residual chemicals cause a bad reaction.  I was lucky and the disaster happened on someone else's handles.  I have seen these handles rechromed on restored cars, so there must be a way.  Anyone dealt with this?
