Smile Anybody have a set of later model door handles??

Went to open the drivers door on my 87 944S and the handle lever popped, now I must open the drivers door from the inside. Got it apart, looks like the cast metal tang on the handle itslef that the rod pivots on broke right off. If anyone has a set of later model door handles for sale(the passenger side probably will break soon as well) please let me know. Thanks!

I have a set of Porsche script handles, if you can wait a week or so.

Lock cilinders in the latter models are different. Longer. I replaced early handles with later models on my 83, had to re-key the lock cilinders on the latter handles with the parts from my early handle lock cilinders. Not a hard job to do by the way. The early handle lock cilinders are too short to fit properly in the later "script" handles. Other than that, piece of cake.

You would have to remove the lock cylinder and install it in the new handle. AFAIK, that is all.
