Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 2:50 pm Post subject: External door handles

Just wondering if anyone has done anything special with their door handles

with regard

to steamlining. I was looking at the flush mount ones from ACS that are used

on the liberty

but worry they will be too deep to fit in the door. I was thinking that a

blended fillet

starting at the front of the door coming out about 20mm high and deep then

blending back in about 2/3 the

way along the door with the handle set into this so it is effectively flush

with the skin of the door.

I have seen the "aerofoil" shaped handles which would be my next choice.



regards



craig

I take it you havnt painted your bird yet, I just wonder if it might wear

the paint where the handle rubs the skin,or do you have a plan

with regard to that, other than that it looks good, and self locking which

is a bonus

Craig,



Yes, that's a concern...still scratchin my head about it...expect to 

find something superslick to coat the edges...maybe silicone, 

teflon...any ideas?



Figured that was solvable and I liked the fillet w/ no gap for 

moisture, lack of draginess...



(definition of "draginess": same relation to drag as "truthiness" has 

to truth; i.e., it wants to have the appearance of minimal drag, it may 

not however, though overall, it probably makes no difference,)



cheers,



Fred

How about an ultra-low friction plastic? McMaster-Carr has PTFE in

adhesive backed sheets in a variety of thicknesses. see page 3507 (!)

of the catalog. Or should I say catalogue?
