[QUOTE="Dave105, post: 179109, member: 3595"] Hi Tommy, Early and late passenger door handles are the same, but the keys are not. Early uses L profile while late uses R profile. So buy a nice shiny set of late handles and swap over the lock barrels. Just remove single cross head screw, securing operating lever, and the barrel simple pushes out, might be a good idea to clean the barrel, but be careful not to mix up the wafers as it won’t work if you do! Give it a nice bit of dry-lube (something like Tri-Flo) and pop your old barrels in your shiny new handles. Simples. If you need any more info feel free to drop me a PM One other quick point, try not to be tempted with Brazilian handles which, most suppliers sell, as they aren’t that good. They also use a completely different key and barrel so are NOT interchangeable with 'original' handles. Try to find some nice old ones (if you are struggling here I might have some) and you won’t regret it. Dave [/QUOTE]
