    Handbrake restoration/headlight mounting/door panel questions

    Been bugging me but I have taken my parking brake out (68 MY) and want to get the plastic handle off , but don't want to break it , any one know how to do it ?

    Another thing I have some excellent cabin biodes 190 , but cannot figure out how to fit them into the light units ( 170 fit OK ,) but 190s need something extra , anyone know ?

    Also looking for some leather door pulls and hardware only for R style door panels - don't need handles, panels or winders .

    thanks

    Been a couple of guys retrofitting 190s (without the 170 trim ring) including John A. I don’t know how it’s being done. A bit of a kluge.
