 |
|
Can a 59 and down beetle door handle be used on a 61 beetle?
Would you just need to weld up the other hole where the 61 handle
normally sits seeing as the 59 handle only needs one hole?
Are there any differences internally inside the door?
Does the 59 handle use a different mechanism for unlatching the lock
inside the door?

I have considered this as well, but early doors arent that easy to find
in good shape...

it can be done,but it's alot of work for icepick doorhandles.
personaly i think it's more trouble then it's worth, but it's not my car so have at it.
i'd keep whatcha got and keep looking for a set of early doors,
when your done you can sell your old doors
