Does anyone know want the door handles are from on some Davrians? You know the long slim chrome ones that you lift up instead of the wire behind the door or the allegro ones I had on mine originally.

Re: Davrian door handles
Hi Dave, I think they are possibly Morris Marinas
Ask Graham Cashmores dad he will know he owns one.

Re: Davrian door handles
I think the ones on my old mk5 were from a Hillman Avenger
Re: Davrian door handles
Yeah, They were Avenger ones. Fitted Mainly on the Mk5's.edgedj wrote: You know the long slim chrome ones that you lift up
Mk4's had the Allegro/Marina handles.
Re: Davrian door handles
I remembered why I'd ruled these out originally, they don't have integrated locks do they. So I've ordered and got a pair of Mazda mk1 handles with integrated lock barrels, they look just the job...

I have a Mk 8 and would love locking door handles. It has the lift up catch as standard. Would the Mazda ones fit the Mk 8 and if so can you be a bit more specific about what parts I'd need (model and year etc. or even a part number)?

Re: Davrian door handles
I used Lancia Beta ones on the Mk 4. Very similar to the Marina (I think) type, but more elegant somehow...and fully lockable.
Not many Betas about these days though.

Re: Davrian door handles
Thanks
Food for thought.
Too much else to do right now (like getting a working engine/carbs/exhaust system) so it's not a priority.

Re: Davrian door handles
The lotus door catch fitted to Davrian's can be locked if you connect them to a suitable lock barrel.
