Go see your local machinist if you get really stuck

[LeeT350c]

Don't quote me on this but PPC who took over Leven may be offering these. Give Paul a ring and ask.

Cheers. Lee.

They are like rocking horse st mate.

The origional ones were made by a small engineering in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire. They machined a load of the fancy alloy parts for TVR (Tusans, T350's and Saggys). I called into see them on the off chance they would be interetsed in making more of them, but it appears they had a bad experience when TVR ceased to be and they don't want anything to do with TVR any longer.

It is possible to get some made, but it needs someone to do a 3D CAD design and CNC code first and then toute around some CNC machining comapnies for a price I guess,

Cheers. BB.

Just thought you be interested we've just had a production run of rear boot glass handles (B1459) Link:

I was at str8six at the weekend and noticed Jason had a couple of these on his desk.

He might be selling them?

I have one just don't know how to fit the bloody thing.

[Racetech TVR]

You're right Jason has had some handles from us already.

To fit, simply remove existing internal boot lock striker and drill out thread in bolt fixing holes to allow the reverse fitting of the existing bolts to secure the handle to the boot glass.

Racetech,

Can i order by phone or has it have to be by website only.

Tony

[Racetech TVR]

Hi Tony,

Call or buy online, details on link provided.

[Targarama]

Be aware, if you fit one of these it does remove one of the ways into the car if the doors stop working.

[tony-allwood]

I have just ordered one , Why would that handle stop me ?

Tony

[Racetech TVR]

Hi Targarama,

I suspect I know, without posting, what you are doing to gain access. You may agree that the handle will only further secure your car. TVR's emergency access method is still available.

[tony-allwood]

OMG , Just went out to my car to see , It never even crossed my mind how easy it is to get in that way,I think i will definately fit the handle to stop that.

I will be fitting a Sag handle this month. Can someone PM me TVR's emergency access method for a T350 please?

I've never needed to use any emergency access, but thought people ought to think before they install

I didnt know there was any other method????

Gosh, I'd never thought of that - even as I fitted the handle! I needed longer bolts to secure mine; the originals had little to no purchase. Also, be careful that you drill the striker plate exactly perpendicular to its flat surface; if you wander off at an angle, it's difficult to remedy.
