Monaro Door Handled

[Tattooboy]

It had to happen one day, passenger side has a big flake of paint missing

What ones do I need to get? Any body be able to help me fit them one I get them?

Many thanks

Ian

you have 2 options.

go to the local body shop and get them to remove strip and repaint the orginals.

or get on ebay and find some cheap Omega B door handles (front) and then get them stripped and painted and fitted.

i have some omega ones being painted by a friend and hope to fit them later this year

I went for option 1 (repainting the originals) last year and they have come up fine - the trim on the inside of the door has to be removed to get at the handles but there is a great thread on here with pictures of how it's done (and I printed them out for the spray shop) - I'll find them for you if you can't get at them yourself through a search.

I recall that, if you go for the replacements (that are metal I believe), you need the internal 'gubbins' as well; the rods are of different lengths (that's what put me off that option).

Check your petrol cap cover as well - mine started flaking at the same time (plastic as well) and might be worth having them all done.

As I say though - once done (properly) they are as good as new so nothing to worry about.

Regards

I fitted 007's omega handles & the only other bits you will need are the rods that go with the handles its an easy thing to do

Thanks Ian, hopefully 007 has some I can use. Fuel flap is fine

Just had the underside of my bonnet and door handles resprayed as Roger now has access to a body shop. Hope this helps.

Could be a back up plan, thanks

What are "Omega B" handles? Loads of handles on EBay, but they just say Omega! They look the same ? Only £5 each as well

All UK Omegas are B`s. Over here the Omega A was the Carlton. If the handles look the same as Monaro ones they`ll be fine - the Omega A/Carlton had square/oblong handles.
