Show me your door pulls :-)

[OBD1 kenobi]

Hi everyone,

The more I drive my miata the more I love it. But Im beginning to realize that my fat ass and hips would be happier if I could find a few extra inches of space. I have a 1994 miata with the '94-'95 specific short door handle but it got me thinking that a simple door pull would likely give me all the room that I need. So, that being said, does anybody have installed door pulls on their miatas? If so, lets see them. I would also love to know if you made them or bought them somewhere as I will be considering both options ( maybe even a build your own door pull thread :-). Thanks for any input!

I have seen some real nice examples of DIY door pulls. I guess I have been lucky that the NB door handles aren't intrusive. I definitely want to see what people post.

Love the steering wheel in your avatar picture!

Here is my old setup, which I will go back to again someday, Nakamae Lower door cards with Nakamae leather door pulls.

I have the InJoy pulls as well, but sent them to RetroModern to be knurled, cause I liked the look better.

I don't have installed shots, but here's what the finished product looks like https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8403/8698792329_41d7999151_h.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/efFzU6)Untitled (https://flic.kr/p/efFzU6) by demon1am (https://www.flickr.com/people/13981880@N07/)

Not my current set up. I need to update my pictures.

RetroModern door pull caps with simple cloth straps. Some day I will upgrade the straps to red leather; maybe with contrasting stitching a la theothersawyer.

I keep saying I'll take decent pics one day. I have the topgaiters black with red stitching boots so I was looking for pulls I could make to match. I searched high and low for black belts with red stitching. Found this old woman's belt for $7 on eBay. Decent enough...

Finished with some ghetto Lowe's countersunk washers.

Question for those of you who are savvy as to the Japanese manufacturers of fine interior products. I don't know exactly who makes these or if they're DIY but I had Rod place a bid on them anyways and won for ¥5000.

http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w557/justdrumin/doorpullset_zpsuypnbmww.png

My gut says the blank plates are part of the kg works set and diy or nakamae door straps but I'm not sure. Any input appreciated!

[Mindsucker]

Just finished my Porsche RS style door pull/opener. Need to shorten the strap though.

Here are my "poor man's" Nakamae door pulls made by Rik aka typesticky aka KFC.


If Rik hadn't sold his last ones, I would never have done my own version. I really wanted those straps as his car was a huge inspiration to me over the years.

Here's Sharka's door straps. In my store and (almost) always in stock for ordering. Thanks for the link Randy!

Just the door card, as the interior is still apart...

None of my passengers ever understand how to close the door when they get in my car. They always pull on the door handle...I bought a nice fancy door pull and they don't understand how to use it?!?

^^^ very original and clever. I guess its a good time to update the thread. I finally went with Retromodern pulls. They still had some Eunos pulls around and I manage to get a set. Unfortunately no lanyard for the time being. They will send me some once they get it. That being said, the solid aluminum pieces are jewel like. Great quality and craftsmanship. It took me a while to find a desirable material for the lanyard pulls and I wanted it in red since it goes with my color scheme. I finally was able to find the perfect fit on a $3 walmart nylon dog collar LOL. It was a PITA to have the final product but Im very happy with it. I have not mounted them yet because I want to do the door panels and window bushings but here are some pics of the final product. I will update the thread later with the pulls installed once Im done with the door panels. 139911399213993
