Mark69 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Had a couple of quotes to rechrome door handles, staggered at cost. Replacement door handles less than half price. Wondered if any of you have fitted these and your thoughts on quality. Thanks Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John390 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 They are the same as a MGB but the plungers are different! Cheers John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marki Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi Mark. Unless you can have a look at them I'd expect them to be the same as the rest of the cr*p we are sold. I'd suggest the refurb route, as I'm going with everything I can that needs doing. Good luck Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Had no issues with them and one set is 10 years old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have my TR3B's pitted original handles on the shelf, but the car is using modern reproductions. These parts, at least for sidescreen cars, are perfectly good. No issues at all. (Except perhaps that the boot lid latch comes with Phillips screws that need to be changed to slotted to look right).

RogerH Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi Mark, the Repro 4A handles didn't have the internal locking lever on them so they were a bit limited. I think you would need to have one in your hand and see if it did what you wanted. At £36 could be worth a punt. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I purchased a set of repro ones for BUO and to be honest very disappointed, they feel cheap and nasty and the operation is not as good as the originals so I think I will be getting the originals to Collendade for a re chrome ATB Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks for replys, I have sent out a few more quote enquiries I'll let you know how I get on. First quote was near enough £200 , but like Roger say for £36 might be worth a look first. Neil which supplier did you use, quality control may be a little different 10 years ago. Graham can I ask where you purchased yours. Thanks Mark Edited May 11, 2016 by Mark69 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
