T/TA Exteriour Door Handles!!

[gold69charger]

I have my 89 T/TA at a buddies shop to be painted and would like to replace the Exteriour Door Handles! Can anyone tell me the best place to get them....The dealer?....Aftermarket?

I got aftermarket ones, they look stronger (more material) where the spring thing is held in place on the back (where they typicly break and wear out). www.1aautomotive.com have them

Jan thanks for the quick responce! I went to the site and they look good....but they look more like my GN door handles then my T/TA's. Is it just the way they took the picture? You said you got them for your T/TA, how do they compare?

original door handles wear out (the spring thing in the back actually comes loos or breaks).


Anyway the ones I bought are 100% identical to the GM ones but a bit reinforced where the spring thing is in the back, I'm very pleased and had them on there for nearly a year now.
