Can I get this part for my tailgate handle? - Land Rovers Only

mm_putnam@yahoo.com · 11-10-2007, 08:06 PM

I dove into my first repairs on my week old '95 classic today. The first thing I tackled was the tailgate handle. It doesn't lock when the central lock is fired from the remote. I pulled the handle and found a post on the locking mechanism is broken. Is this the kind of part I can replace or will it require replacing the whole tailgate handle?
Attached is a photo of the part in question. Note the brass-colored piece should have two posts that extend up around the pin. The silver metal area is where one of the posts broke off.

Thats funny, mine is broke in the exact same spot.............

I've never found the piece, just new rear door handles. I think Atlantic British has a rear handle in their clearance section.........

I have one that I believe is intact if you would like I'll check and if it's good we can work out something.

I stripped out the mounting screws trying to get it off the gate so I don't know if my old one is any good or not yet sorry for the delay
