Thanks for this! I'm in the process of restoring/customizing 2 LMTVs and both have the door handles broken. This is a great how-to in order to upgrade the handles, as the factory ones are crap...
Just wanted to say thanks for this great video. It helped me a lot. I went outside and cut a similar Trimark handle in the passenger side. Now to run the rods, etc : )
@@NEILSWORLD I've been patient waiting for more snow plowing videos : ) Did all 6 hubs and CTIS seals. That was quite a job. All new synthetic gear oil. Good for 500k. Did you do anything special to measure the rod length to the latches. ? I'm going to take a swing at that today.
@@urgentcareguy3 no, nothing special. I don't actually remember exactly how I measured the rod lengths. I may have put the original ones in and noted how much longer or shorter and matched the original bends from the latch down.
The reason you made rods was due to a difference in lengths needed between original handle rod length and the new handle rod lengths needed? Just placed my order for the handles, clips bezels. But curious about rods. Would rods for A1 be of the proper length? My truck didn't come with handles or rods. Hence why im asking.
You are correct. I made rods because they had to be a different length. I'm not sure if the A1 rods would be correct or not. They're not all designed exactly the same where the rods hook to the handles so probably not.
Awesome videos I am trying to do the same thing to my doors with the Trimark I have reached out to the manufacture there are 70 different versions in that series number on your sheet 030-1875 each one of them has a individual part number do you remember the part number for your paddle handle please help
Great video! The left side link does not come up with handle. I also search the two part numbers on the Austin website, nothing. Can you double check the part numbers?
It sounds like you're viewing it on a computer because that's where I can see the right hand number and just below that line it says show more. Click on show more and you will see all the parts and links.
Have an issue with the rod end clips that I got at the link in your description. These are 4 mm clips, but the ones in your video appear different (colors). Mine are too big for some reason. Any thoughts?
I just stopped at my insurance agent on the way home from registration I told him I needed insurance. Just looked at my card it says Ohio security insurance company.

I really like these handles
Those turned out awesome! Even better than the A1 trimarks I did a vlog on. Thanks for posting yet another alternative option!!
Thank Sean
After you remove the 10mm nut, remove the stud with a straight (slotted) screwdriver.

That's great. I've been wondering what you've been up to. 😁👍

I still need to do this
thanks Neil

@@NEILSWORLD That's what i was thinking Sir. Thank you for the prompt response Sir.
Latch part numbers are 30940-01
and 31853-05. Bezel number is 36784-01.
31853-05 has a weight. Use 31853-06. I just updated the links in the description.
Neil, can I ask why you bent up new 1/8” rod instead of using the stock stuff?
The original ones were a great model to follow but the lengths needed to be different for these different style handles.

Too big for the rod or two big for the hole? I thought they were a little too big for the hole but I forced them in.
@@NEILSWORLD Too big for the hole. Maybe I will shave them a bit. I also found some Honda ones online that are a little smaller.
I have the handles that Sean used. It will use those small plastic parts to connect the rods. Where did you get those from? Thanks!
I added a link in the description
@@NEILSWORLD Thanks man!
What model are those? That looks awesome 👍👍👍👍
Added to the description
