Door help
Hi guys I’m in the middle of a 250 swb build. I have cut a hole in the bmw door skin to reveal the push bar behind. All god there. Can some one take a picture of their door with a ruler next to it to help me mark where to cut into the fibreglass door skin to attach the new door handle
Thank you |
The way I did my car was to measure down from a piece of tape stuck on the window to where the push bar is. Measure first without the door skin, then refit the outer skin and mark the position. Drill a small hole first then open it up to suit when you are happy.
I've extended the push bar up about 1/2" so that the push button on the handle actually pushes without too much pressure required from your thumb. If you are too close to the pivot point it won't open the door at all ! |

Make sure to locate the door handles very carefully.
don't ask how I know after the door skins were bonded on! |

Exactly. My "friend" mounted the handles 3/4 inch too low and bonded the skins on. Had to cut them open, relocate and repair the skins.

In my case, lots!
Had to remove the bonded on body too. |

Forgive, it that's a daft question, as I don't have a Z3 |

A screw on the Mini handle allows for some adjustment on the plunge distance as well. |
