Tristin Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I currently have 6 extra aluminum door pulls right now. They are modeled after the OEM pieces with better than OEM quality... these are not made of plastic, but hand turned aluminum. They are threaded to fit 510s and 620s, but anything with 10-32 threads should be fine. I made them a little longer at the base to ensure that they were long enough to sit well within the door. If anyone would be kind enough to confirm what other Datsun models have 10-32 threads for sure, I would appreciate it. I have 6 (only four shown in oic) currently and only in brushed finish... I can always make more so if youre interested please PM me. If there is a big enough need for these, I can see about getting them CNCd for a large quantity and can even cut Ratsun members a deal. They are $25 a pair shipped (plus PP fees but I will accept PP Gift which is fee-less) or $45 for a set of four. There are plastic OEM replacements for $15 plus tax and shipping so I think aluminum ones at this price make for a good deal. Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes, I have 8 for you sitting in a ziplock bag in the style you asked for and 4 ready to out out once Paypal is received for another member. I have these 6 extra. I can always make more. Link to comment

carlos213z Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I don't know if you would know, but do they fit a 521 or 240z?? Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes they do, they fit both. Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 A few sets sold... I was able to make more yesterday after work. So I have more available. Link to comment
ISPKI Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Confirm that these will fit a 77 280z? I assume they will. Link to comment

Tristin Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 From my understanding they fit Zs fine. I'll test fit tomorrow on a buddies. I think I currently have 2 sets right now. Let me check my stash and Ill PM everyone. I'm trying to get a run of CNC ones created. Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I don't mean to knitpick, but these are lock pulls, not door pulls. I came in expecting door pulls :) Have you considered stainless? Aluminum tends to turn my hands gray :confused: Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I've consider stainless, in fact I have a set already cut in it. I just didn't know if people would pay the added price of stainless over aluminum. I may be able to offset the price if I run them CNC on one of my machines though. I've also considered having them powdered black as that's the stock plastic color. Link to comment
devilsbullet Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 ano that shit!!! fixes gray hands :thumbup: Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Or you can just clean them haha. I have no issues with all the aluminum parts in my car... But I hit tank them in Simple Green and scrub them after cutting. Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 all the ones down south ended up flat black p/c....look factory....problem with ano..... horrible abrasion resistance...and worse.... really horrible u/v resistance Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah, that's the one issue with ano that I steered me away for it... Abrasion resistance. I knew it was something you would lean on, man handle it, etc. all the time when you're in the car. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 id like a set, PM me Link to comment
ISPKI Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Post up the stainless ones, I think people would be willing to spend the extra $ for heavier/sturdier feeling hardware. Aluminum is so light, sometimes it feels cheap, even if it is made with quality. Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've barely sold any at this price... I might make a small batch later. I'm currently out of door pulls so when I get a chance, I'll make a few more sets. Thanks to those who got some. Link to comment
Just Joel Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 How low are these when the doors are locked? I'd like a set that finish real low so as to let my arm rest comfortably whole cruising ;) Joel Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 They sit low. They were a little high when I first made them, and after someone pointed it out about the arm thing, I started cutting them low. I daily my car with a set and have no issues with the knobs.

Tristin Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 hi Now that Im going to school full time I think I only have one OEM set left. Link to comment
