Just a few quick questions i need to know asap

What happens with the lock in the handle? do you just swap the lock from the old handles into the new?

and how much roughly am I looking at for a secondhand set? I've found a set but dont know how much to offer

Thanks guys
:)

Drivers side yes.. Passangers side no. Just undo and unplug..:) There is no lock hole on TL passangers side.:)

Price for new was was about $200 i think..

The locks *should* be interchangable, I know the boot-lids are. If not you will have to get the lock recoded. As for price... Call mitsu and find out their value, pay a maximum of half of the RRP.

If you get a full set and install factory you lose your passenger side lock which I don't really see as an issue (a lot of people use 2 drivers sides, so maybe 2 locks are required?).

So the passenger side lock wont work?

TL door handles don't have a passenger side lock, conversion people buy 2 drivers side ones and flip one upside down.

TL dont have a key hole.. So all you do is remove lock from handle and dont put it back in the TL handle. Just inplug it. All still works fine..:)

oh sweet
thanks guys
hopefully ill have a set in my hands by the end of today

Ill offer $50 first, see what happens

I just paid $120 from Mitsibits, if that is an indication, for all four handles.

I know when i got mine 2 years ago they came painted.. I think they come ready to paint now..:)

yeh i got a quote from my guy $119 incl gst ea, in what ever colour, they had my colour in stock (platinum) also red, black and white.

that is bloody steep

thats why i didn't get them.. some new parts through mitsu are cheap.. others.... are questionable...

i'd rather get some normal ones, plastic weld them, fill/ shape (might just need shaping after filling with plastic), prime and paint them to look like them..

i have seen some people respray their normal handles so they look like KL ones.
come up pretty good

They still have the lump in the middle. I did mine and then got TL ones and they looked 100x better..:)

KL ones have the silver strip.
so you just take that off b4 painting i mean

just bought a set of TL handles from eddywreckers in SA, it was $25 per handle plus $10 postage, but i need to get them painted

just for interested people i got quoted $97 + gst per handle from mitsubishi and that was to the colour of your choice
so sourcing them from the wreckers will save me about half the brand new price

If you're getting them painted, any particular reason you didn't just get your originals painted?

TL & KH = different handles

TL handles are smooth and dont have the chrome strip and arent plastic
