QUOTE(t collins @ Jun 30 2015, 03:56 PM)  I took some pictures and I will post when I can get them of the camera. The chrome is shiny but I could see slight waves. Fit was good but time will tell if the casting can stand up to the rigors of use. |

Yes, the door panel has to be taken off to get to the allen head. It is a 5mm if i remember correctly. That takes longer than the R & R of the handle. While you're in there, take out the door latch mechanism and clean/degrease it and re-oil/grease. You will be happy you did and the handle & slider will last you a whole lot longer.

I just realized this laptop has an SD reader so here are 2 pictures. If there is a particular image you want I will take it.   |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) There are many points of friction in that mechanism it is amazing that it ever worked. Keep it oiled/greased. Door handles would last a lot longer if this mechanism was maintained. |

So these are EXACT copies of the original?
No effort was made to correct some of the weak points of the original design? Why the big gap in the joint of the new one? |

Let me compare and take more pictures. |

One of the problems with the previous reproductions was the size of the body side of the handle. When I say the "body side" I mean the body being the piece with the lock cylinder in it. On those it didn't line up with the "flapper" or the part you pull to release the handle.

Looks like the sale ended yesterday.
If you anyone is interested they may be able to retroactivate the sale price today. |
