TheTurtle Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Mine is cracked and looks like crap. was going to SEM paint it while doing the rest of my interior parts but I'm thinking it probably to far gone. Has anybody done anything beside replacing it or leaving it off? Some kind of leather or cloth gasket to cover the whole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 The originals warped early on before cracking and dissapearing... It would be easy enough to replace in several different ways. Plane plastics would have the way to make new ones... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 It should be fairly simple to turn a wooden form and make your own replacements with sheet plastic from the hobby shop. Drape over the form, heat it a few minutes in your oven then either vacuum form it or (wearing gloves) gently push it onto the wooden form. You only need to make one, a small piece of plastic should let you make a couple of mistakes and still get a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just removed an excess plastic piece from under the handle. Is that what you are looking for?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Belville Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'd call it an escutcheon: Mine is missing and not missed but if I wanted to replace it I would visit the hardware aisle of Lowes, Home Depot, or my local hardware store... https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/best-price-SS-201-door-handle_60679259133.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
