Sorry, I just machined them manually with no drawings.
Even with a CNC mill or lathe, these will have to be made out of two pieces. There's not too many parts that can't be machined by CNC, but this is one of them , even though it looks like a simple part.This part would be perfect to duplicate on a 3D printer.
The biggest problem is the surface that sits against the inner door panel. It's a curved surface that's at an angle, which by itself would be easy to machine, but the problem is the stub that fits inside the door.
It's difficult to explain in words.
I still have one original plastic one that I could take close up pictures and measurements if you wanted to make some?
