[Healeys] BT7 door handles

[Rich Chrysler]

I have had similar problems with these repro flat pull door handles. Closer
examination revealed poor finished castings with lumps and bumps in the
areas where the moving handle has to fit into the fixed portion of the
casting base. The manufacturers then chromed right over these bad surfaces.
I found that in some (but not all) cases some careful filing and relieving
of these casting problems in areas that don't show allowed the handle to fit
much better.

I tried several reproduction door handles on my BN7 and they were all the 
wrong shape.  The tip of the handle stood away from the small rubber bumper.

I finally gave up on the reproductions and found some original ones that I 
had re-chromed.
