Does anyone know if the right and left side outside door handles on the 914s are interchangeable? I someone have 3 door handles and all of them are stamped with an L. I put the left door handle on the right and it seemed to work ok. Wondering why there stamped L and R if there interchangable. Thanks

They can be used on both sides. However if you look closely at a R and a L, the shape of the handle is different. The piece that you pull on to open it follows the shape of the door edge.

I've heard a rumor that if you get a flap from an R door and put it on an L doorhandle and it will work on the L side.
