Interior door release handles - suggestions?
dickie b - 21/3/19 at 03:44 PM

Good afternoon all

I haven't posted on here for ages, since I finished my Fury build (BOL 125T.. where are you now?)

My new project is a Ginetta G20 Junior shell with bespoke chassis to take all MX5 running gear. Initially with a stock 1.8 and then convert at a later stage to Jag V6.

For now, some advice please :

I am looking for some neat and compact interior door release handles / mechanisms. MX5 units are a bit hefty and have lock sliders that I don't need.

On the Fury I used nice and light (but ancient) Austin Metro items, but I wondered if anybody can recommend a more up to date OEM component?

thanks in advance !

Richard

Aha- the perfect solution . Just what I had in mind- small and discreet.

Brilliant - many thanks

Be better when I pull my finger out my .... and finish the panels properly that sit in the dashboard. I just made some quickly to fill the holes and have been got round to it.
