~ 1969 Door Headaches

Recommended Posts

Got dynacorn doors for my build. After fitting and painting I find that the push button hardware ( the piece that is hinged for the lock mechanism) is too tight of a fit to mount the handle. It appears the door skin may have been crimped to close to the big opening for the door handle and that hinged piece hits the door shell. Now I'm not sure what to do now that everything is painted. I may see if the original door hardware is somehow narrower and might fit better. 

 

Ugh!

The door handle button area on Dynacorn skin is a common problem where the door frame interferes with the parts inside the shell.. I'm sure those who had to fix them will reply.

If you have reproduction handles they could be the problem, the ones I bought were rubbish, they would not fit through the hole in the doorskin and I had to fit all the original internal linkages to the new handles, if I were to do it again I would rechrome the original handles.
