depends on where its broke. You can replace the plastic piece, but that is all. There are no fix it kits that I know of.

Are you refering to the pot metal handle? If so, you either have to find a used unbroken one or I think Tweeks sells new ones for around 50 bucks. It's Tweeks or Performance PRoducts, I know I saw it in a catalog.

New ones at Tweeks are closer to $200.00

I may have a few used ones that work, no keys though, you will have to re-key them.

No need to rekey, just change the cylinder.

Rich, got an extra drivers side?

I read a thread here a few months ago on this subject that had a pic of someones hand machined piece to the repair the pot metal tab on the back of the handle(the one that the rear screw goes in). Can't find it again, but it looked pretty easy to do, and looks like it would be a permanent repair.

Posted by: swood Nov 14 2003, 10:29 AM

Not the whole ass'y, just the flapper. That's the piece that always breaks, I need 4 of em.

I saw it on a different thread, but that's the same pic. I don't remember the pic of the HPH product. Bothe look to be a cure.

Paul, you still making some of those? I got a small box full(30 years) of handles.
