KiwiGL Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Recently bought a gen 1 sedan. Unfortunately drivers door handle is broken and so is passenger door external lock. Will the door locks and external handles from a Gen 2 Brumby/Brat fit a late 1980 Gen 1 sedan? From my reading here it seems they will.

moosens Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I’d say no they don’t interchange. Plenty of parts hoarders out there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, took the gamble on a 1984 Brumby/Brat door handle. Fits perfectly. They are exactly the same part besides a slight pattern difference on the face of the handle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiGL Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Also, from further research I did it looks as though a Datsun 510 handle should fit in terms of the mounting and mechanism attachment, however they are slightly more diagonal on the side profile and as such are wider at the bottom of the handle. I suspect this would interfere with the Subaru door handle recess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 They are not the “exact same” but hey you made it work. For the person trying to keep their car correct the handles are unique from 72-77 stage one here in the States , then 77(stage two) - 79 cars and gen one Brat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
