Subject: Re: Outer Door Handles & Bakerlite Horn Shaped Inner Door Locks Guy, something in the back of my mind says door handles may be same as P5 Rover. Sorry no idea about internal door locks - Rover again? |

Subject: Re: Outer Door Handles & Bakerlite Horn Shaped Inner Door Locks David, "that something in the back of your mind about the door handles being Rover P5" was correct! Many thanks! Guy. |

Subject: Re: Outer Door Handles & Bakerlite Horn Shaped Inner Door Locks I would use the search term, "door lock button", that is what they appear to be called. I didn't know this either when I started searching, best of luck. Seems to be a lot of Rover P5 parts on this car, but these seem to be equally hard to find as well. |

Subject: Re: Outer Door Handles & Bakerlite Horn Shaped Inner Door Locks I spent a good while last night looking for the correct lock pushes, I found the words 'lock knob' worked well. I'm inclined to think they are from a Mercedes - they seem Germanic in style... Surely they weren't purpose made for AM? |

Subject: Re: Outer Door Handles & Bakerlite Horn Shaped Inner Door Locks I think you are 100% correct, and the shape at the top appears to be most unsual. Like so many parts on this car, they have been sourced from a variety of places, and were I believe bought in, in small batches. Not economical for AM to have made them in such a small batch, the tooling and mould cost would have been to high I can tell you that they are not the same as those in a 1960's, Jaguar, Ford or Alvis and I suspect that you are pretty spot on, with Mercedes, a good choice. How about the VW Karman Ghia as well or other large volume manufacturers of the period ? |

Subject: Re: Outer Door Handles & Bakerlite Horn Shaped Inner Door Locks Still can't find the right door lock pulls, the closest I can find are these: Link to door lock pull knobs I've bought some because they are close in look and date and should do me until we found out what they should be... |
