    We continually review all products and it depends on finding a suitable supplier. We attend trade shows globally, scan web sites and receive offers from potential suppliers as well as use our existing ones. When we find one we often have a number of items for them to consider. This handle involves finding a lock maker, die caster, chrome plater and someone to machine the solid end. So you can see it is not a straight forward product.

    Sure, I can't imagine them being cheap to produce, but the time is here to do them. With the current surge in interest and restoration of vans it would be the right time to see a return for making them. There just aren't any good ones out there and rebuilding them is very difficult, so new ones will fly out the door.... I paid $300.00 for a NOS one 2 years ago and was happy to pay it.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
