Door handle fix on the cheap S90-V90

Fixed the door handle on the 960 today on the cheap-Buddy who owns a local shop had a 740 sitting out as a parts car. How much for a door handle-take it off and it's yours was the reply. The panel was already off so's in about 2 min it was mine all mine.
Now here is the good part-I took the cam off by using vice grips and removing the axis pin. took my handle transplanted the pin and cam ,reinstalled the door handle back into the car and now I gotta working door again.
The cam on these handles are universal and will fit either a right hand or left hand door handle ,740, 940 or 960. So if you have a handle that is broken it's most likely on the door that is used the most so, find one for the rear passenger door because it is the least likely door to be used therefore newer.
This sure beats the heck out of trying to find one your color ,or buying a new one from the Stealer and having to paint the thing.
hope that helps

Door handle fix on the cheap S90-V90

I couldn't open the door-the cam acuator was broken and would not operate the wire pull hooked to it, to open the door. Instead of buying a new handle or a used one from another 960-I took the plastic cam off a 740 model handle and transplanted it on the 960 handle (that had a broken cam) and fixed the door-the cam will work on either a left or right hand door-just by turning it around-it's universal.

Yea fliped me to find out the cam in the 740's handle was the same as in the 960. Looked like there was better plastic in the earlyier model than the 960 as well.
