Lorna...see...
back door locked
the slidddddeeeee to the side(so 70's disco)
and the temp door holder open thingy
so decide to fix the back door handle today
it flopped in the wind.......
took off both sides and after looking at all the pcs and assy....this is a bs design from an engineer...
how in the hell with proper length spring pin to engage both sides of inside handle;...errrhhhhh....so they did the lets get one side in and hit it so handle sits flush(it'll be fine..)yeah for 10 openings and 15 years,,,,,argh...
so
the outside and inside are held together in uni---son.. by a spring pin..which is to short and...yaydaydaa bs..
should be obvious...and no it's not from the titanic....metal gone..no where to attach
so I grinded it off to stock and added some metal...
sticking out cut off flush to roll pin
more welded and then cut off
so i need to make a washer/shim next week but it works!!
so
what is next?....a bottle of wine with my sweet heart!!!.........chow!!!
