Hi Mike,
>Rivets? What did you want rivets for? What was up with your door >handle? I've taken the door internals to bits on several occasions on >my '77, so I may be able to offer some advice. > The inside handle cracked - so I just got a replacement handle - its held in by rivets - at least mine was. Had to buy a rivet gun thingy... probably cheaper to buy the whole assembly, but at least I have a rivet gun now. Thats all fixed now. *However*, and I should have guessed this would happen, my passenger door doesn't open now (obviously unrelated because I just fixed my driver door - unless there is something spooky going on...) - it doesnt open from the outside - you pull on the handle and it sort of half opens and then the door sort of catches on something. Any ideas? I'm going to have to look at that tomorrow. >Isn't it Laura who gets in and out of her Spit a la "Dukes of Hazzard" - >due to a faulty door mechanism? I thought it was out of choice... I did try it the other week, but it all went a bit pear shaped... I ended up sort of just stepping in. I don't leave my car with the top down and the windows down often - so I don't really get a chance. >That's what I said once. I got a reply that asked, "Have you removed >the springs that hold the door panel against the escutcheon?" "What >springs?" said I, in all innocence... Springs? What springs? I didn't remove any springs...
