Door handle parts

[George Harris]

Sorry, forgot to specify model and year; '87 5kcdtq.

I actually have parts of 3 cars to choose from, but all the ones I have
looked at so far have the little flap that crimps the slit at the top of
the ball together broken off. The plastic is aged and cracks easily.
Once this is gone the socket is free to pop off and leave the push rod
unattached. This happened to my door lock.

I am looking for some new fresh ones. Thanks for the offer though.

Regards
George
