Miata Metal Window Cranks

[Andy]

If the price is right I would be in for one.

Just FYI.
Here is the RS Factory Stage aluminum window regulator handle on Yahoo Japan, buy it now ¥27,931

For the record, I'm not one to make cheap(er) copies of classic products except in the cases of:

1) the product is no longer available (manufacturer discontinued it or went out of business)

2) the product is not available from the manufacturer in a desired material option (carbon fiber vs. FRP)

3) there's a critical flaw in the original version (fragile casting vs. strong billet, as is the case with these window cranks)

I thought I'd found a potential donor with good condition original M2 parts to loan me to help with this project.

But after sporadic communications since February, he apparently developed cold feet, so I have to consider that door closed and move on if we're going to do this within a reasonable time frame.

So, does anyone else have M2 door latches and/or winders that they're willing to entrust to me to quickly, carefully reverse engineer and promptly return to them?

Mike Satur did billet cranks:

If you can get CAD drawings, Jass can make the part more cheaply than any Western supplier, because they are in Bulgaria.

As a dealer, I know Vlad (DBA Jass Performance) well. I'll see if he'd be interested in pursuing this.
