Search reveals that TR-4 or big Healey door pulls are nice and period correct, while MGB are plastic and not as nice. There is an all chrome MGB pull but the Healey ones at 20.00 are cheaper and perhaps a bit nicer.
Moss Motors is the recommended source for Healey and TR at 19.95 ea.

Found these for 25.00 pair, but how do they mount, and is there some sort of pivoting bracket, on the end nipple bit.
Any good or EMPI crap?

One cannot post on threads over 1 year old so here we go again

Any update on this, before I go and buy 4 pairs?

If you look on the back of the EMPI door pulls, you see the mountings, they're just hidden by the packaging, Regardless, don't buy them, they're pretty cheeziod.

Grab those TR4 pieces, I got four from the yard near by and they're classic. The MGB plastic handle/chromed pivots pieces can also be made to look great by just painting the black plastic the same cream/ivory color as the dash knobs and steering column. They fit right in with the period look perfectly. In some ways, they almost look better than the all chromed TR4 handles in that a little cream and chrome has more interest and look more comfortable in the 356 interior, you know?

Either is a great choice, just keep away from the EMPI cheese.
