bloody chinese spec handles. HELP

[Deefadog]

Not too sure mate! i have emailed the guy i got them from "rabbity" off ebay!

I realised after looking back at the pics on ebay, that there are adaptors that come with them for the MK2 - I never got these! no wonder i had so much trouble!!!

I have emailed the guy for him to send them to me!

I managed to get it to sit tight and work buy putting the two thicker washers on the inside - used some tacky glue and stuck it to the thread hole on the handle!

here are the ones i got and how i fixed the lever!



And the crude fix 




Should i have had an adaptor to screw into the plastic tipped screw?

i dont see how they push the mk2 door handle mechanism down?

anyone have a pic of these fitted to a car?

[Deefadog]

Ok, i think i know why these don't work - i think they are for the MK3 not the MK2 - damn ebay seller

here is a pic of the one that look correct (off another ebay shop) -




See the difference to the pictures above!!! Help, help, help!!

Also, i have found the best way to keep these handles solid - is to use 3 washers on the large screw on the inside of the door, the handle does not spring back fully at first, but leave it a few days and it seems to work fine!

I can't send them back as i bought them off ebay last october! i have only now got around to fitting them I have tried emailing the guy i got them off, but he is not responding

I'll bauy some more and sell these i think, i have posted a link on the mk3 forum to double check that the ones i have are for a MK3!

OK, these are the correct handles for the MK2, but they are for the rear doors! apparently to use them on the front doors you need to swap the latches over!

Now can i use the normal handle latches for this, or do i need MK3 front latches?
