Yes the handles are sought after aren’t they? Reckon they are common on wagons FE to EK and vans right up to WB? I have seen them with serviceable looking chrome, only to find they are rusted to crap underneath, and snap near the inner end.

EKMart was quite good to me came away with not only the rods but a pretty nice handle and top tailgate struts and some other bits and pieces.

Can somebody tell me how do you get the lock barrel out of the handle to get a key made???
