I am almost finished with my 71 sport (Old Powder Keg). I am in need of a pair of the grab handles that mount to the deck just behind the air vents right near the rear passenger seating. I was hoping to modify a pair of them and use them as grab handles mounted to the back of my bolsters for the rear passengers. If nobody has them does anyone know the origin of them? It seems like a lot of the parts from that era were sourced from other industries or manufactures...... Thanks!

Same end brackets as used on Donzi 18 as I recall, I acquired 4 a few years ago from a sop that is no longer in business. There are replicas that are almost correct, but they have screws thru the top.
See this link for the replica:

That is the only type of handles I have ever seen or used. I will check and see if I have any of the original ones in stock.You know they are original because they are heavier than what you buy today. Bud
