Replacement AMC small bodied car door handles. Many of us know that Jeep Wrangler 1/2 door handles are direct replacements for our small bodied cars. And, if you don't mind black, they are now extremely affordable and appear to be of a good quality. From what I can tell of the set I bought, they appear to be stamped steel, not pot metal and are a bit heavier than the OE ones. The tang that always like to break also appears stronger. Mine came without gaskets so if you need some you will have to find a vendor who provides them with their handles or separately.

I'm just wondering where you got them, as getting parts in Canada is a little more difficult.

Eddie Stakes sells the seals. http://www.planethoustonamx.com/
under "parts" about 1/2 down the page
$9.99 + $1.50 shipping in US or Canada
He probably even has some listed on Ebay.

I got worried there, cause it says, "May not ship to Canada".
that typical on eBay? You can tell I don't shop there very much.

Depends a lot on the vendor if they will ship to Canada or not. The nest store used to and they pretty much broke even on those shipments. Still, it was a service to AMC folks. Perhaps, something like that will be done again in the future.

HI there are people out there looking for new handles and these are good ones ......hear they are come and get them ............I forgot how it was ......when I looked they were on the 3rd page good hunting ........don

Same handles as Jeep Wrangler 1/2 doors. Just opposite numbers, depending on the seller. The holes for the screws aren't threaded. I just took the paddle and put it on my chrome part.

I think this is worth bringing back to life as I was a bit panicked about finding handles for my new addition.
