They look great on my iMac.
Check to see if your camera has a "macro" setting, though. Use it for taking pictures of things close up.

Pretty cool. I've never thought of doing that.

I got pissed at mine and accidently RIPPED the door handle off.
Good write up.
So if you need it thiiner just file it down,also use some loctite on the screw.

You can use a counter sunk screw if you wanted it thinner

Would this fix also apply to mk2 g/j handles?
Mabe even Porsche 924 handles?

Yes

Nice write-up, thanks!!

I'd suggest finish with a light filing and make nice and smooth, and some grease; not to get personal but some slippery helps, usually.
