Exterior Door Handles - How Many Different Manufactureres ?

[Solarguy]

This question came up in a search through the forum but never answered. Does anyone know how many different companies are making exterior door handles for E Body Mopars. 1970 Cuda in particular. I know about the different curves of the handle between Cuda and Challangers. I see offerings from OER, PG and Stephens Performance and just about any Mopar vendor with prices all over the map. Does anyone have any industry insight and who's the Best. Thanks

In searching the internet, I found the following:

Mopar E Body 70-74 BARRACUDA Exterior Door Handles with Gaskets

Detroit Muscle Technologies, LLC Mopar restoration gaskets

www.detroitmuscletechnologies.com

Used to be the after market handles were flat with no curve and sorta fit both Dodge and Plymouth but was obviously not right.

Thanks for the reply. There are plenty of handles available in the aftermarket. I know the flat,convex,concave differences between Cuda and Challenger handles.

What I'm trying to figure out is, is there a choice of Different manufactures or are all the vendors selling the same product.

Good luck finding out. The resellers don't reveal their sources. There may be a dozen manufacturers or just 1 or 2. 99% chance they are made in China like most repop parts. Next question, why does it matter?
