Hey guys, time to fix one of my door handles. The plastic cam broke. I'll probably pull the passenger side and clean the inner mechanism and replace the cam on that side too just to be safe.
I've got the driver side all cleaned and lubed up in the door, but cannot figure out how to get the plastic cam off to replace it. The handle doesn't open enough to let it slide out so do I need to drill the rivet and replace it with a shoulder bolt or something? PS I did try to read through some of the other threads about door handles but haven't found anything specifically regarding this yet. |

I know I made mine with a notch so that you can extend the flap (pull the handle), and the notch will allow you to rotate the cam on and into place. Once installed it doesn't have this range of motion so it stays in place.
Does this help? Attached thumbnail(s) |

This nylon cam was the very first aftermarket 914 part we ever made. We improved the nylon formula so that it would not break, and guarantee it for life. We have never had a warranty claim. It was my idea to bevel it for easy installation over the original which one HAD to unrivet to install!!!!!
