I picked up a repro set for the outside handles for one of my Pats at PI's tent at Fall Hershey waaay back in the 1990s.

I think they've been redone and improved in recent years, but I don't have any details on the maker. Perhaps others who have purchased them can chime in - mebbee add them to the Packard Directory here.

No, I don't think so and my apologies. I got my doors mixed up and was thinking of the round wire type. I have seen them though--maybe in the Auveco big catalog or vendor sites-- so let me do some digging and try to remember where.

If you are in a large enough city, can also look in the yellow pages for fasteners, industrial and see if you have any dealers locally. They can take one look at the old one and tell you if they have something.
