Hi there. I found some original chrome handles from passat 1974 but they have different opening system than the original vw golf door handles. Does anyone have any idea how can i rework them to fit on my car?
The difference:
The golf handle pushes down
and the passat handle pushes forward.
maybee i should buy the whole locking system from the passat or? i've seen those handles on mk1 and i would be very thankfull if someone helps me.
Thanks

That circular gringer (JCB) is not usable. buy this
http://media.wuerth.com/stmedia/shop/800px/141652.jpg
(2 discs) and you will do the job. Also a metal wire brush for electric driller. but some strong one. Also there's one chemistry from BODY
http://erobinas.com/images/watermarked/detailed/1/BODY_700_Paint_remover_1L..png
apply it with paint brush, leave it 15-30 mins and scratch it with those hand tools
