door handles

[catmech]

my outside driver side door handle has some play in it.is there anyway to tighten this play up. the door still opens with it.

Use caution.

Mine was like that before it broke.

They are notorious for breaking so be prepared it could be on its way out. My went without any warning.

I would get on the phone to Max for a replacement and get it painted cause it sounds like you are almost there.

I'd start looking for a new one now!

I got mine on E-bay and painted it myself.

I've got a silver 94 that I am going to be parting out here in the next week or so if you need one or both of the handles.

I need both in silver 98, you have that? or are these the same?

 

[Injected65]

I'm headed out of town right after work today, but when I get back on Sunday I will take some pics of the handles and do some checking to see if they are the same from 94 to 98. Otherwise, I do have both handles and I know that they both work, but I honestly haven't paid much attention to how "tight" they feel. I'll check them out and get with you.

all handles interchange from 93-98 you just need to change the door lock cylinder those are different from 1st gen to 2nd gen.

uh oh, how much work does that entail? and cost? My handles are only broken at the cheap plastic part that goes into the door

Plastic part?

 

[Mike P]

well it seems plastic when I drilled through it to add a little pull on it to open it, it goes from handle to into door. Whats that made of?

 

[jamies98lsc]

the whole handle is pot metal, the only thing plastic on it is the ring around it between the handle and the door, and the plastic linkage pins that the linkage rods go through, otherwise the entire thing is metal, not plastic, and changing the cylinder doesnt cost anything, you take it out of the broken handle and pop it into the new handle!

 

[Mike P]

ok so I can buy these handles? thanks guys, Injected, lmk when you have them for sale and how much

 

[Injected65]

Mike,

The handles went out on UPS today. I left the tracking number at work, but on ground I imagine they should be there by Tuesday or so.

Thanks,
Chris
