anybody have a source for any kind of aluminum extruded handles that came on a late 80's early 90's matco box... doesn't have to match perfectly as I am going to replace the whole set, I just can't find a source for sticks of it.
thanks

I know exactly what you're talking about.....I still have one floating around in the garage somewhere.

What size is the box and how wide is the drawer front?

BTW, those handles are cut square by using a fiber disc in a cutoff saw.

This box is 66" wide.....so I'm thinking the handles off of it ought'a be wide enough. :D

"1404.. a Tacocart? I haven't heard of anyone calling on that model in YEARS!... hold on I can email you an attachment of a parts list on the box, but we dont carry parts for it anymore..."

Somebody made those handles for MATCO, MAC and PROTO back in the day, but I don't know who. I'm thinking if the one on a PROTO box is the same shape, you could order one of those and just cut it to the right length.
