   we sell a small carbon fibre handle that gets rivited on to the metal if this is any use for you , will look alot nicer than a loop of wire

   Go to a local Diy get some strips of metal with holes in, bend into a handle shape and pop rivet them in.....if its a track slag then thats all youll need.

    just pulling on this small little bit of metal is annoying now, will have a look at putting a bit of metal onto the door
