Handle

Postby MarkM » Tue Aug 08, 2006 6:33 pm

Not really a true customise but simply a bit of Bling!

I had to dremmel the slot a little and with hindsight perhaps I didn't need to dremmel the rear section but at least I did it neatly.

Ok guys it is from an Escort MK5 Ghia, but not every Ghia has these fitted so you will have to search for them. The dremmeling is needed on the plastic surround NOT the handle itself. ALL MK5 Transits use Escort internal handle assemblys, so it works out cheaper to get these rather than Transit one's

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

Obviously if you can find an Escort with the entire assembly then no dremmeling will be needed but I was only able to get the handles on their own...the basket it sits in is 100% indentical so I didn't need that part anyway. The other pain is finding Black surrounds as many Escorts are actually a very dark grey.
