Raggylad Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 The driver's door inside remote door handle on my 1983 SW is completely k******ed - the metal pull lever has folded and is about to break. Unfortunately the part number (MUC1216) comes up as NLA with every firm I go to. Before I start trawling breakers, it occurred to me that the part looks remarkably similar to the item fitted to later model MGBs (CZK3792) - which is readily available at reasonable prices. Given BL's habit in the early 80s of using standard 'parts bin' items where possible across several ranges, does anyone know if the MGB item is a workable substitute for the LR one ? Thanks.

mickeyw Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The release handles on my 1986 110 look very similar to those used on the Marina (same stable etc). The four door RRC, Maestro/Montego and then the Disco 1 all use the Marina external door handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Marina, Maxi, MGB, any BL car of early 80s vintage really, they all will fit. That is how I managed to find replacements for the thin plastic trim that goes around the latch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Mark, if you are referring to the 2-part internal bezel, I found a chap selling a lots of them on eblag a while back. Pt # CZA2259L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yep, those bits. I think I found them on Ebay too, but that was 3 years ago now. Sounds like the chap bought a job lot :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggylad Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Continuing the search for an alternative - does anyone know if the RH inner door remote control handle (as fitted to 90/110 from 1984-86) could be made to fit in the 1983 inner door setup ? Thanks for all the thoughts above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggylad Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Well, the MGB item, although derived from the same basic door handle mechanism, can't be made to work - all the actuating connectors for the door latch are different, although the connection for the remote locking mechanism is the same. Here's a clearer couple of pics of my problem part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickliv Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I know it's been a while. Did you have any joy? I'm in a similar position, am looking at 3D printing, or possibly resin moulding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
