Inside Door Latch
Has anyone fabricated an inside door latch to open the door from the inside?

Thanks
Bill

I think it's safe to assume so, otherwise everyone would be stuck inside their cars!

Sorry, Bill, I couldn't resist...

Not necessarily so..
What about those people that purchased a "Pre-Fab" set of releases?

I'm wondering about this as well since they apparently did not come with my car.

My understanding is, each builder is on their own. I have a design idea I'll post and we can coment on whether it's workable.

Re: Inside Door Latch
We have done them for customers....very simple aluminum release lever mounted directly to the door striker (bearclaw) latch....no great mystery....just ask.

Re: Inside Door Latch
Something like this? These came along with my car. Reach over the shoulder and a quick flip forward.

Re: Inside Door Latch
I will have to take a couple of pictures. Mine looks like a door lock except it is 1/2" SS tube with a 3/8" SS bolt with the head turned round.

Re: Inside Door Latch
Bill -

You can totally make them up. In looking at how Fran's guys made them it was much simpler then I expected. I can try to take a shot of them if you need. You can alway come by if you are in my area as well.

Re: Inside Door Latch
They are attached to the pivot on the latch mechanism ...there is nothing to change ...just bolt on your lever with your preferred shape...(as each original is different)....and Bobs your Uncle...

Thanks Fran. It's still a little unclear. Maybe when I get my car back I can take a look
