IPSCO's webpage shows a price of $370
PIM has some on e-bay for $99 of a different design and material

Has anyone used PIM's?

   Hi all
   Much fun had by all this weekend. In the end I decided to let sleeping
   dogs
   lie and left the heater valve shut. Somehow I suspect it'll stay shut
   for
   quite some time...
   It's really a fantasy of mine to be able to organize a DeTomaso tour in
   this part of Spain... I say it's a fantasy because it's simply too far
   from
   the rest of the owners to really make it feasible. Some UK Pantera
   owners
   wussed out on the last Le Mans Classic tour because the Dordogne region
   was
   too far from them, so Spain would be out of the question! But the Rioja
   area is absolutely gorgeous, especially in fall with all the leaves
   changing color.. well worth the trip if someone is in the area. We had
   roughly 20 cars participating in this tour - mainly Porsche, but a real
   Shelby GT500 (2012)A  came along, several Corvettes, an immaculate
   NSX..
   Anyway, the only issue I had was that someone helped be finish breaking
   my
   door handle bucket thing. Last year in Copenhagen, some scumbag tried
   to
   break into the Panteras parked in the hotel parking and damaged 5 or 6
   locks. They were a heartbeat away from starting Tomas Gunnarsson's
   car...
   As a result of their heavy hands, my bucket got damaged (see photo from
   last year). During this weekend, someone tried to open the door while
   it
   was locked and the bucket came loose. I suspect that the bolt pulled
   the
   rest of the way through the threads...
   In the past, some vendors (PI?) tooled up to make some out of metal,
   but
   they didn't have the right curvature to fit in the hole. My question -
   who
   makes the "good" buckets that look like new and fit well? Thank you!
