The old repops were just terrible..On the 71-74 handles..The two parts were made for the bigger hinge pins then they used a pin that was 1/2 the size of the originals...This made alot of slop that a} dug the paint on the door when you pulled up b}did'nt have enough travel to even open the door even if the lever hole was in the right place.. How those things ever got to market amazes me.. Here's the new good ones... B/E&A

We made our own, thx for the Colin. Last edited by HEMICUDA; 01/18/10 12:55 PM.
