Measurements Targa/Cab Release Handle

[rwilliams]

Hello all,
I have a 1985 Carrera convertible that is missing the targa/cab top release handle/release key for the roof lock. Pricing is outrageous and fabricating these should be fairly easy. I could try to design it on the fly but it would be great if a fellow Pelican could post measurements of a key that they have in hand, i.e. round stock size, cross pin size, cross pin position, etc. Thanks in advance!

I'll draw one up for you.

Not sure how much of the detail is critical. The pin is tapered, probably for ease of assy. There is a notch at the top, I think this is what captures the key if you press it in all the way. And another step to 4mm further down the shaft.

Matt,
VERY nice! Thanks for the quick reply - hope this helps others also.

I thought I saw Rennline was making these. Might want to check.

They're $61 new for a reproduction. I guess that's not cheap, but I wouldn't call it outrageous either. Certainly more cost effective to buy one than fabricate.
