Hi All VVers, I am in need of all new or good second hand handles for our 67 Olympic as the steamy atmosphere from the leaking windows badly corroded the handles. The screw spacing is 3" or 75mm but as I am putting new laminate on they can be different but I would prefer to keep the shape as near to original as possible. I have looked on the net and been to restoration hardware shops but I have found nothing close. Please HELP!!! Sorry about the reflection - the backing for the photos is the little door off the main door of our Olympic with a clean up and Poli-Glow - not a bad shine for a 41 year old ;D - Can't wait to use the Poli-glow on the rest of the van and make her look like new. Thanks,TonyH

Hi Retro 1, Thanks for your response. I need 25 but will buy more if available because I am changing the cupboard layout and not sure of the total number needed at this point. Cheers TonyH

tonyh,
i have 13 from my olympic due to the recent renovation
you are more than welcome to them
they need to be sanded down and rechromed just like yours but what the hey, that,s part of the fun restoring things aye
i will be in qld around about sept if that's suitable i will bring them with me
but if you need them sooner i guess i could mail them to you somehow...not sure how that works but it must be easy cause it happens daily
pm if you need to
cheers

Hi tonyh, Another option to keep in mind is the Vintage Trailer Parts shop on USA ebay... stores.ebay.com.au/Vintage-Trailer-PartsI guess you'll never find exact matches in this shop to what you have, however some items might come sort of close, eg item 190217865609 The store seems to find stuff all the time, so you have to check on a regular basis. Last year sometime, I bought some teardrop-shaped clearance lights from this seller which were NOS and the transaction went smoothly. At least with the exchange rate at the moment, it's worth considering dealing with the US. cheers, Al.
