Default 968 door handle upgrade

So the door handle of my 951 broke (drivers side)

I figured it would be a great time to upgrade to the 968 door handles...

Do you guys recomend a place get this kit???



I bought a pair of handles from below....

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/mm...dle~parts.html

but i only got the handles.....

no lock cylinder, gaskets, or the pieces of metal that connect to the door....

So i'm thinking of returning these....unless you guys know where i can get the rest of the parts....

or let me know where i can get a good set of door handles


Thanks

Someone with PET should be able to find them for you. Maybe check Paragon-Products?

*Scratches head* Not exactly sure what it stands for, but its the Porsche Parts guide that the Vendors use. Like it shows every part and gives the part # for said part.

I know a few ppl here on rennlist have it.

The only parts you can reuse from the 944 handles are the tumblers.

I second Sunset. Jeff's the man (if he's still there).
