Default Source for Accurate Boot Handle

So looking around the web, I'm astonished at how poor the Wilmot Breeden boot handle reproductions are. Not accurate at all. Does anyone know a source for an accurate reproduction?
Here is an original:

You might look at this one at Cobra Restorers. They have two on this page and one of them is supposed to be the original type.

Thanks Ron! The link didn’t work for me but I found them on their site. That looks pretty good. Appreciate it!

Or you could buy an original and retrofit it with the correct tumbler and key:

Thanks! I have an original one for my car but was looking for a retail source for new ones. I think we've found it in the UK but need to actually get one to see how good it is.

Hi Larry,

Have you looked at these guys:

https://www.europaspares.com/cobra-d...andle-set.html

They do sell the boot handle as a stand alone item and they will sell the bonnet handles without locks if you want them that way.

Yeah, I did look at them. Tony Branda has the same set. I think we’ve found the company that supplies them and are going to buy a couple from their US distributor. So we’ll see what they look like once we have them. Appreciate the help!
