Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Door handles



Thanks Todd I have an extra used set of handles, one satin and the other is what I now know they called pebbled. Couldn't figure out how two handles off one car could be so different, but just figured out from you that they are off different cars. I can only hope the ones I ordered are the smoother ones as they look much better to me

There's several variations of the door handles.  I'll just run through them. 
This is only for the paddle style door handles. 

There are long and short door handles.  The long handles were used on the
bigger cars such as the Javelin and Matador.  The short handles were used on
smaller cars like Hornets, Gremlins, and Spirits. 

For the long door handles some have a lock and some don't.  The Matador sedan
has locks in the front door handles, but not in the back door handles. 

The texturing on the paddle was changed some time in the mid-seventies.  The
early style looked lot like brushed aluminum.  I have these on my 72 Javelin. 
The late style is more a knurled, rough surface.  My son has these on his 78
Matador. 

And of course they are different for right and left sides. 

Add all these up and I get twelve variations.  I'm not sure if the part number
changed between the early and late style.  I suspect not.  If that's the case
then there should be six different part numbers. 

Long - w/ Locks - Early - Left
Long - w/ Locks - Late - Left
Long - w/o Locks - Early - Left
Long - w/o Lock - Late - Left
Long - w/ Locks - Early - Right
Long - w/ Locks - Late - Right
Long - w/o Locks - Early - Right
Long - w/o Lock - Late - Right
Short - Early - Left
Short - Late - Left
Short - Early - Right
Short - Late -  Right
