About three weeks ago, Deb arrived with a broken door handle on her Hyundai.
We couldn't find a used one(there were plenty for the other side) without importing from Spain or eastern Europe for about £50. New ones are about the same.
So she bought 2 new ones, from a Chinese supplier, for £16 delivered:
The only snag was at least a fortnight delivery time.
Which meant a quick&dirty repair using some M4bolts, 2mm stainless sheet and some epoxy:
I did that without removing the part, and it would probably last for some time. It would always be really ugly.
The new ones arrived yester day, so I fitted the necessary one:
One of the things I like about this car is the sensible way it's assembled: all that was needed to change the handle was to remove three screws, and pry the cables off.
The new ones don't have the horrible soft-touch coating, so I'll probably fit the other side to keep the details correct
