Door handles

I need a set of door handles for my 66 CC. The ones on there are after market and suck. I have another set with FoMoCo embossing but look like fakes and are in bad shape. Anybody have recommendations for a decent set?
The pics are the marked set.

One

The re-popped ones kept coming loose and falling off. I think because the set screw is so much smaller than the original. I found NOS ones on eBay and have had no further problems.

Well, my brain mis-fired as usual. My statement was pertaining to the window regulator handles, not the handles, but I would still check eBay.

I’ve got a set but they are original to a 66 and more like driver quality. Would need cleaning up.

I popped for a set of NOS handles on Fleabay, here's hoping they are up to snuff!

Thanks for the heads up Mr iBuzzard

I might be interested in those. They are the same as for 65 right?

I have had no luck keeping the handles tight. My fix is to use 2 allen head set screws in each one. Haven't had one come loose in 5 yrs now.
BTW mine are re-pops.

Double set screws

Where did you put the second set screw?

The second set screw keeps the first one from coming loose. Also there is a counter sunk divot in the shaft that they seat into. If I remember correctly the original screw is 3/4" long so the first one is 1/2" then a 1/4" one to lock it in.
