I am about to get working on my outer door handles. They both broke on the same day right before leaving to petit le mans, but in different ways.
On the drivers side I think it's the little plastic piece on the inside. On the passengers side the handle is loose due to the plate breaking. I have a new little plastic thingey and a new metal base for the other handle. Anyone with experience that is willing to offer any tips or suggestions will be rewarded in their next life. |

How do you re-use a peened alum rivit? 1. The pin is steel and not aluminum. 2. The orginal pin fits in the hole like it was was made for it. And it was. 3. A bolt is not the correct diameter. Which means a sloppy action. 4. The threads on a bolt will over time gall the povit surface of the handle. Now the repair bolt that AA sells for thier replacement flapper is better than a standard bolt because it has a large shoulder and few threads. But still not as good as the original pin. |
