    looking for some door handle parts

    Hi all

    Going through my boxes of spare parts recently, I discovered almost enough parts to make up a complete pair of door handles (w/key) but need the following:

    1) an outer housing (I cracked the original when driving out the pins holding the metal handle in place)
    2) The part shown in the picture below (both left and right). The ones I have have the ball for attaching the rod broken off. Midwest bayless has them new, but they're $26 each. Alternatively, I thought I might be able to repair them by using a miniature ball and socket linkage as used on model airplanes.

    I'd like to get them back together so I can offer them back to members as I know they're becoming harder to find. I had already blasted and powder-coated the metal parts, so it's just a question of finding these few bits to finish them. At the time, when I broke the outer housing, I just gave up in frustration and bought a new set. These parts have been lying around since.

    I did exactly this with one of mine on my first build, worked perfectly.

    David,

    Have you got a link to the sort of thing (radio controlled parts) that could be used?

    Thanks.

    Thanks Michel,

    I wonder if any of those RC rod ends have the same thread as the X1/9 rods?
    Is that too much to ask?

    The ball on the alloy Fiat handle part is 4mm.
    I suppose the replacement (RC ball) doesn't have to be exactly the same, size wise?
