After further search, I found many examples/photo's from the IM group of door pulls.
Has anyone else installed them in their speedy, and what did you use (Make/Maker)

The chromed inner door pulls from the early MGB (part number-GLZ118/CP) are REALLY elegant, beautifully made, nicely priced, and mimic the original Porsche item in a lot of ways.
I got a couple of pair, one for each car, and was VERY satisfied with the piece(s).
Luck,
TC

TC,
Weird this should pop up. Just yesterday saw a post from last year mentioning Moss Motors and the Austin Healy door pulls and ordered them..
Mel check these also.

Thanks TC!
That should do the trick - hopefully shipping won't cost too much.
Man, you are a walking automotive reference guide. From now on I'll refer to you as TCpedia.
Thanx : )

Joe: I remembered looking at your IM photos, Beautiful car by the way!
I was wondering if you removed your door pull. I noticed the hinges but no handle.
TC I looked up the MGB/C door pull #472-240 and it was only $7.95ea. @ MossMotors. Could there be that big of a price diff from the other site you suggested, or is this a different part that I found?

Mel,
Thanks. Didn't remove them yet but they are black so it's hard to see against the brown door panels.I just ordered the Austin Healy chrome pulls from Moss Motors yesterday.

Those are the black ribbed plastic ones with the chromed end pivots. STILL . . . if you paint the black plastic with a good couple of coats of Krylon Ivory, they look wonderful! The Ivory matches the dash knobs and probably your steering column and lends a sweet period look for a LOT less than the all chromed ones.
I only went with the all chromed ones because the original Porsche items were chromed, and I used them in coupes rather than a Speedster.
Either item is a TOTAL GO for looks and long lived usage.
