MG MGA - MGA FHC Interior Door Handles

I have FINALLY located a source of re-manufactured inner door handles for the MGA FHC! They are pricey but they are correct!

https://www.mgbits.com/contents/en-uk/p3409_Door-Handle-Interior.html

I have been conversing with this vendor since late last year when I received a US vendor sourced version that was both longer in overall length and did not fit the shaft! (It turned out that the longer, thinner shaft slot are what fits a Magnette MGZ)

Hope to see my new handles in the weeks to come and post COVID disenfectant!

Stay Safe!

Yess, NTG is often a good source for parts like this. I bought my horizontal heater panel as a prototype from them when I restored my car in 1988 - nowhere else had it as a part, and they had one made as an exercise to see what work was involved in punching all the holes and making the captive nuts - far too expensive for anyone to justify was the verdict, so I got the panel for what was deemed a fair price. My restoration would not have been possible without that panel as mine was just lace.....

Mind you, when I have bought the odd part from them recently I found their shipping costs extreme.

Rick what is the correct length of the coupe handles?

Hi Colin
See image the handles I have are broken but original the width as measured on both (at undamaged end closest to fabric pivot) is 113.5mm
Hope this is of use.

I have put a couple of pics on. 1 handle is definitely MGA, at 3.5ins, the other at 4ins I have no idea!

Same fittings, so will fit an MGA and give a little more leverage.

I have a pair of original interior door handles and original escutcheons if you’re interested.
