I can't be the first to declare the Van's door handle and mechanism a total RPITA.......although not an engineer..........even I could design a mousetrap better than this. After sanding the powder coat off of the shaft handle C the spring is still too small to move on the shaft and make the mechanism work. I thought bringing in my Saturday night consulting engineer Jack (Daniels) would help but we finally gave up tonight. Maybe a bigger hammer tomorrow will bring success. [quote][b]

Try filing out the area in the shaft that the pin travels up and down in... that's where mine bound up.

I thought maybe they gave me the wrong sized spring but I was able to unwind(?) the spring a little to fit the shaft and now works fine.

Spring for the cnc machined handles.... they work perfectly, are a direct Vans replacement, and they look WAY better.

Hi
Be careful when filing out the slot, do as little as possible. You will get a little "slop" in the handle movement as the pin can now wiggle a bit in the slot. I think you want to keep this to a minimum.
I also found that a little white grease goes a long, long way to making the mechanisms move easily and smoothly. There is a *huge* amount of internal friction in the mechanism. The grease deals with this effectively - or so I found. I put it on the tubes, gears and rails etc.
Cheers
Les

Hey Don,
Where did you find these CNC machined handles?

If these are the ones you want : davidnellis691(at)comcast.net (davidnellis691(at)comcast.net)
I have a set and they are very nice. I also used Steve Deniri's billed handles on the outside for a nice flush fit.
Cheers
Les
