im doing heavy grp doors and i want to use the mini sport billet inner door handles

http://www.minisport...o_C_MAD002.html

i was wondering if anyone knew how those handles mount to the latch set up,
or if anyone has pictures with them mounted

thanks

i had a look at these aswell. i know it says they bolt onto the back of the lock mechanism but could find a suitable spot for them.

sorry i cant help directly but i know the bogus 2 car has them on and i emailed them at miniworld about a steering wheel boss that car has and she was very helpfull. i got an almost instant reply with details about it so it might be worth giving them an email.

again sorry i couldnt be more helpfull than that

You seen the DSN-Classics Billet Alloy range?

i live around the way from dsn, but im not gonna use the standard door guts, because i have heavy grp doors from the arc angels http://www.the-arc-angels.co.uk/

thanks, im gonna email mini world

i figured out how they bolt up, monday ill buy them
pretty much the old bar that clips onto the latch, the little clip part needs to come off and drill a 2nd hole
and the mini sport handle should bolt on, and to open the door from the inside, the person would then need to
lift the handle up
as soon as i get them in my hands, ill know 100% if im right,
i'll let everyone know in a few days

mini sport inner door handles

[joakwin]

i want to say i used a 5m bolts to mount the handle to the latch

im still working on cutting out the fiberglass for the latch on the other door

[s.parker]

ah i see. that makes sense now. cheers for clearing that up

thats how i thought they went:) only possible way i could think of

turns out im not using them now, i was going to hae them on and try to use them with the door internals still in but its 100% impossible unless you grind the door in half 8)

may aswell keep them for when i get lightened doors

You can go with any option of inner door handle namely classic mini, mini cooper S trim or simply mini cooper.

not these you cant. unless you make it a lightweight door mate.
