Door handles

[jimmyrjm]

Hi everyone!

 

I am struggling a bit with my Triumph GT6 MK3 door handles, I just can't seem to figure out how the locking mechanism works? And how they fit in the door, it's probably simple but I can't can't figure it out if anyone can help that would be great! Pics below

 

Thanks,

 

Jim.

Here are some Canley Classics spares catalogue pages which might give you some clues. Canleys seems unusually slow today so, be patient!

Jim, hello,

 

The main problem is access but the fitting and actuation of the latch and lock is quite simple and straightforward. The door handle assembly lips behind the door panel at one end and is held in place by the metal bracket shown in your picture. The bit of bent wire with the hook thing engages with another bit of bent wire on the door catch. The adjustable nylon prodder operates the catch and allows the door to open. I hope this is of some help but if it all seems a bit garbled well that's just the result of plenty of Christmas cheer  I might be a bit more lucid in the New Year!
