I found out yesterday that a later oval outside handle is not the same as my 54 (they are flat whereas the later ones have a ridge in the middle) -
also the base is in a different position, different spring inside etc etc.
Good luck, I am just about to start my search for a passenger side outer door handle!

What sides, have many spares but want to keep some as they are getting hard to get.
Let me know and I will have a look at how many I have. I am talking internals.

Thanks for the replies. Not too worried about looking correct as thats not too much an issue. More a case of if it will fit.
looking for the bits that go inside the door, window lifter, door catches, I have the handles (i think) and the winder and door opener handles.
Not after the shinny bits more the bits inside the door that do the work. Not sure what they are called.
Grooved doors are different from later oval doors. Guess how I know.

Only 54's and earlier fit ribbed doors. The chrome window channels are longer and cllunker door mechs are different. That is why complete ribbed
doors are so expensive. I'll see how many spares I have got.

My turbo car is really a July 55 and has clunker doors and pillars. Think this is as late as they get.

i think I may have worked it out, is it the raised rib that runs around the whole of the door trim on the inside of the door, I noticed my 59 is flat
and smooth where its painted and the 55 has a raised bump closer to the trim.
