[DeTomaso] Doorhandle problem

Sun May 14 18:09:50 EDT 2023

My pieces seem to all be made of metal, I don't see anything that's plastic at all. I couldn't see the ball joint because it is held inside the end of one of the rods which appears to be metal.

   As my edit to my first post indicated. You do not need to remove the
   gray pot metal piece with the ball.

   Thank you for the instructions, but unfortunately they do not
   correspond to anything in my door lock system. There are no plastic
   parts, it's all metal, and the lock mechanism is held in with 3 slot
   head screws, one of which is inaccessible unless I remove the Chrome
   metal doorhandle piece by drilling out the rivet that is used for it to
   rotate on. I don't see anything that resembles a ball of any kind.

   Chris,
   P.I.M. does have a replacement bucket with a replacement pivot shaft as
   described by MIKE THOMAS.
   To remove door handle you will need to detach a link rod connected to
   the handle with a plastic component. Be very careful with that plastic.
   You will need to transfer the lock portion of the handle to the new
   bucket.
   To do this, you will need to remove the gray pot metal piece that has
   the ball.  That will require driving out the small black pin that holds
   it to the lock assembly. Then you can remove the lock assembly from
   your old bucket, place in replacement bucket, and reinstall the gray
   pot metal piece and it's retaining pin.
   TAKE PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING prior to, and during the disassembly process.
   Take note of the orientation of the key slot as it resides in the
   bucket.
   Pay special attention to the orientation of the gray pot metal piece.
   And if you do wind up needing to do both left and right hand buckets,
   be aware there are subtle differences between the two sides.
   On a sidenote, if you have door locks that require different keys, now
   would be the time to get things re-keyed to a single key, which should
   operate both doors and the trunk. If you need to re-key the locks, that
   is something I can do for you.
