On my project bus 79 bay. The door handles (on the exterior) the triggers are cracked internally. I took off the door panels and looked inside, took off door handles with the hex wrench. The inside of the handle has the other end of the triger cracked and has worn to almost a flat spot rather then the curve that makes the contact on the latch. Can you just replace the trigger, so I can keep the same locks and handle? It happened to both sides.

Thanks

You can take the lock cylinders out of one set of handles, and put them in another set in better shape too! Jeremy
