Smashed side door handle

Post by dreamwarrioruk » Sun Apr 26, 2015 11:51 am

Had an accident with the side door handle, someone trying to get in has ripped it off.
Ive managed to glue it back together but am struggling to see where the spring fits. There are no bongos near to look at so could someone take close ups of the sliding door external handle so I can rebuild it.
I may have to resort to buying a new unit as its colour coded and not black. Looked on ebay but only complete sliding doors available in the wrong colour.
Or if anyone knows where I can get a replacement handle assembly in neat green. I know there is bongospares I can fall back onto. Maybe someone has a spare dinged side door lying around. Photos would be appreciated first though
