Ah yes, the door handles are one of       those silly things that builders fixate on causing their build       time to increase exponentially. They were custom made, mostly by       me, with some parts purchased, some machined, and some fabricated.       First, the aluminum blocks attached to the door frames came from       some latches I purchased from Murle Williams.       (www.MurleWilliamsAviation.com) The latches didn't work, but the       pillow block door attachment, the wavy washers, and the hex bolt       were useful. (Only $75!!!) The machined parts were the female       step-bushing receivers for the bolt. I bent up the 1/8" aluminum       plate and glued it to the step-bushing with acrylic adhesive.       (After treating all the aluminum with Metal-prep and alodine.) The       hex head bolt is glued into the bushing with blue Lok-tite and the       wavy spring washers between the bushing and door block keep the       handle from rotating when open. The delrin receiver blocks I       ground and polished myself and attached to the sill via screws       into riv-nuts. They must be made custom for each side to get the       right thickness depending on your door, sill, and door covering.       (I use bubble doors.) The whole thing works really well, thereby       completely justifying the ridiculous cost and effort required to       build them. (HAHAHAHAHAHA!) Oh yes, the knobs are wood and were       purchased. (Can't remember who makes them and I doubt they're       around anymore anyway.) I've sent drawings via direct email since       Matronics can't handle attachments.

       

       Good luck!

Hi             Guy and Kitfoxers,         

          

A             while back, I think you posted some pictures of the inside             of your Fox.         

          

I             loved the door handles. Where did you get those great inside             door closers?         

          

Mine             has the standard ones which have released causing the door             to pop open a couple of times--a certain distraction!         

          

Thanks,             Grant

OK more info. I think I got the knobs       from the guy that makes these.       Not sure if Aircraft Spruce will release the name of their vendor,       but with a little pleading you just might make contact.
