Hello all-
I am looking for some of the small parts for a driver's side door handle for a 77 spider. As I was replacing the door limiting straps, I figured out why the driver door does not lock- the lock cylinder is not connected to the locking mechanism! I looked in the bottom of the door, but no attachment parts were found.

I'm hoping someone has a complete handle lying around they are not using. I don't actually need the handle itself- the chrome and finish on mine is fine, so if your handle has major pitting, even better! I just need the attachment pieces for the cylinder (weird washer, spring underneath, little attachment screw). Also, the little u-shaped spring that keeps the outer handle pulled into the body when not in use is broken so the handle flops around.

I would be glad to just buy the parts, or a complete handle assembly that is pitted so I can pull of the parts I need.

Here is a photo with the missing or broken parts highlighted. The smaller yellow circle is where the broken retracting spring is located.

Thanks- John

FIAT 124 Spiders used the same outer handles. You might search for those as they will be less expensive than those for Alfas. Just saying.

^^Good catch. Also, while you are in the door, lube everything. Window glass guides, and lift mechanism, vent glass pivots, latch pivots, etc. Adjust the glass so that it goes down flush with the scrapers, and up to where it nestles into the top cut-outs. Mission creep yes, but once and done.
