71 outside door handles
Does anyone know if the holes to bolt handles on are on an angle?I have bought 2 sets and the holes are on a 45 degree angle.This does not make sense because the handles are already angled.I would think the the bolt holes would be straight because the inside of door panel is straight.If you try to put bolts on the angled handles the bolts are crooked.These handles i bought weremade in Taiwan.Any ideas-or am i missing something!

Re: 71 outside door handles
That should be correct. The washer needs to stay parallel to the casting. WES

Re: 71 outside door handles
So in other words-the washer will be parallel but the bolt will be on an angle?

Re: 71 outside door handles
67 doors and handles were different.

Re: 71 outside door handles
Is there a chance you have 67 doors? The 67 handles had bolts going straight in and the doors had a plate in there to accept them. I don't think the 67 handles are reproed at all. I believe all the aftermarket handles would be the 68-72 style. (angle bolts.)

Re: 71 outside door handles
Both bolts are at a slight angle to be flush with the door stamping. You should have no issues bolting these right in.
