In this video I'm going to make four custom door knobs for my friends BMW 323 I E30 from 1985. The 36 years old original ones made from plastic became very brittle and fragile over the years and they break quite often. So I was asked to make some new ones out of stainless steel. We've decided to make the same design like the original ones, just have them polished instead of black. I also need to make four new rings. They had such clip things originally. As this technique does not work with metal rings, I've decided to use C-clips instead to secure them in place which worked perfectly.

I hope you like my work and the video.
