Wanted: Door handles

[Bruce Caldwell]

Looking for a pair of door handles for a 46 BC-12D. I don't really care which type they are as long as they match. Thanks!

Re: Wanted: Door handles

In your opinion what is the value of a pair in good condition?

In other words what are they worth?

p.s. In hindsight maybe I just should have said this, If I came up with a good pair what would you want to pay for them?

Re: Wanted: Door handles

Big difference for the pile I have is if I take them off the old door or you do. YOU come over and remove them, maybe $10 each. Want ME to take them off, at least $100! I have a PILE of them and can't get any more off the doors.

I'm guessing around $50 for the pair. I don't have any idea what they are going for but I'm willing to negotiate.
Thanks,

I wish I was closer to you. I'd love to spend $10 each for the handles. I know how hard it was to get mine off. Thanks for the reply Hank.
Maybe I'll have to make a special trip to Virginia

Great vacation location with one of the best aviation museums in the world (The Military Aviation Museum http://www.militaryaviationmuseum.org/). Something for everyone. LOTS of history, beaches and a pile of small airports all the way up to the biggest military bases in the world. What ever floats your boat (including the battleship Wisconsin).

That guy from the Philippines has been selling some door handles on Ebay but not listed under Taylorcraft, the last time I came across them I think he was asking in the $60 to 70 range for brand new casting door handles and he had 4 pair. I think if he sells those he will make more.

Re: Wanted: Door handles

Any more info on the guy from the Philippines and what they are listed under? I'd be fine paying that much for two new handles.
Thanks

Re: Wanted: Door handles

The "guy from the Philippines" actually lives on Guam but sources some of his repro stuff in the Philippines. I think his name is Don Jones. His sister runs things stateside and they seem to be able to source a lot of NOS and repro parts for older airplanes. His ebay store:

No Taylorcraft door handles at the moment.

He has some Aeronca Champ reproduction handles
