Interior Handle Screw Size

[Simon Finch]

Hi all,

The internal handle (spring one above passenger door) has come loose.

Looks like it's the metal bodywork the screw attaches too.

Anyone else had this problem / overcome it?

Can I put a slightly bigger diameter screw it a) will it fit through he handle and b) anyone scone the original screw diameter?

Thanks!

No sorry!

The one on the roof.. that springs down / up.

Part 13?

 

[Simon Finch]

That’s the one (I think)!

Do we know the dimensions etc?

M5 28mm?

Those screws go into a metal bracket that is riveted onto the body work, you could either change the bracket or fit a couple of rivnuts into it and use bolts instead.

M5 x 20 according to the diagram

I think the thread in the bracket has gone. Not miles out. I’ve ordered some 6mm screws to see it that bites.

It should work shouldn’t it?
