Bar inside boor bush

[jefferdp]

All,

The bar which connects to the handel on the inside of the door decided to drop out. So after taking the door skin off, I found that the bush which holds the clip for the bar and the bar in place had disintergrated.

I contacted Rimmer's and they sent me 2 replacements, part number 628012, one for a spare just in case the other door plays up. What I have found is that the clips provided are just not correct, they are too short between the metal clip and where it needs to expand to hold it's self in place. I am going back to Rimmmer's to explain the problem but they have already told me they have sold many of these. So I don't believe they will believe me when I say the part is not up for the job expected.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did they get around it or where did they get the correct part from?

Lastly why did Triumph design an "L" shaped part with the "L" pointing up when if it had been made pointing down it could have never dropped out in the first place. Has to be one of the great mysteries in life.

or "Lets make it as complicated as possible" must have been the designers remit.

Regards Dean.

Hi, this type of clip is used twice on the handles once on the external door handle, which the one you show is perfect for, however the one which hold the bar on the internal handle has to have a much longer bush. Its this one which i just do not see to be able to get hold of.

But thanks for trying to help.

Hi Dean,
Cant really help by sending you a clip sorry, but try to speak with Peter about it at LD part if possible.
Also try Mick at EJ Wards, Mick Dolphin, Mike Papworth, Robsport, Wins International & or Quiller triumph.
All the above may prove to be knowledgeable & helpful.
A picture of the part may help clarify the length difference too.
As far as it goes with designers, there was & is no such remit, just a firm set of legal / finance constraints that give rise to such issues.
