Does anyone have any experience with reproduction exterior door handle for 1967 Barracuda? I purchased a set from New York restorod and was very pleased with their appearance and quality. Yesterday, in the process of putting parts back on the car, following new paint, I installed the passenger side handle. When I tried to open the door it would not actuate the door lock. After trying for several minutes I removed the handle and found it to be working. I compared the new to the old handle and realized that the housing sorrounding the push button mechanism on the new handle is about 1/4 to 5/8 inch deeper than the original handle. I checked several sources, PGClassics, Armstrong, etc. and they all show the same handle for 1964-70 Dart, Barracuda, etc..
Does anyone have knowledge of a fix for this or am I SOL?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
