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?

Some photos and measurements would be great! I think it would be possible to make them with a "flip jig" similar to this:

I agree 3D printing would be much easier. If I can make a 3D drawing of it then I may be able to find someone to print it - but I think I will prefer aluminum
