I got this in from England today. What makes it special? Back in the day you could order replacement locks coded to the rest of the locks in the car. This lock came with the master key and valet key. No re-keying required. These locks have not be available since the 1990's.

They are available thru Porsche again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Porsche classics came to our show over a year ago and we gave them a good list of what we thought should be offered again.

Sierra Madre has them for ~ $345.00 or repos for ~ $85.00. Seems I read some unfavorable review on those repos awhile back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

My passenger side exterior door handle seems to be breaking, as the movable part doesn't return to its flush position. Are these fixable, or better to just buy another one? I've seen reproduction parts for sale, and supposedly Porsche parts for sale at twice the price.

He will fix it. |

And, don't force it or it will break. These locks and inner door mechanisms are tough, but need to be kept clean and well lubricated.
The door handles are easy to break, they weren't made of the best metal. |

Chimp Sanctuary NW. Check it out. Group: Members Posts: 22,075 Joined: 2-March 03 From: Orion's Bell. The BELL! Member No.: 378 Region Association: Galt's Gulch |
Remove the handle and clean it up. Order a couple of plastic sliders and 2 other seal type items (per door) from 914rubber. Just replace and be done with it. Be careful. Don't force the nut you can see with the door open. You'll need to pull the door card and everything else on the offending side. There's small hex screw on the inside rear of the door also. A good penetrant would be used on both fasteners. Be gentle.

The door handles are like sacrificial pot metal and the reproductions I've purchased were even worse. My real problem turned out to be the inside latch mechanism gummed up with 40+ years of sludge and causing stress on the handle mechanism.

Special because the recycled nickels and pocket change to make them are from the 1980's instead of the 60's.

I can not recommend ANY of the reproductions no matter who makes them. The lock cores do not want to fit. The chrome is like it is painted on. Finger nails scratch them.
