Hi Stephen,

I do not know if the same interior and exterior door handles has been used on any other car. The locating peg and socked used on the doors are similar to those used in Morris Minors and are readily available.

I am not aware of the striker plates available anywhere.The striker plates on my car were in bad condition and I fabricated replacements from stainless steel.

Regards,
Pekka

Hi Pekka .. Thank you for your information, that is a good website .. I managed to find one exterior door handle at John Biddles Antique Car Parts here in Adelaide, so only need one more now, and I have spoken to a Singer owner here in SA that may have one !!!, he will let me know this Sunday .. I found out yesterday that the interior door handles are now in stock at Classic Chrome Solutions in the UK, email richard@classicchromesolutions.co.uk, so I have ordered 2, so all going well all I have to do now is make up the striker plates .. and will do as you have and make them from stainless..
Thank you for your help, and if anyone else needs interior door handles, email Richard while he still has some stock..
Regards Stephen
