Anyone done this? I'm trying to sort out the doors for El Gato. If you've followed the old build thread you'd know that Tricky grafted modern door handles into the mini doors (Honda Civic I think they might've been?), but we're having issues working out how to get them to integrate well with the mini door latches etc (ie actually getting them to open the bloody door!)
To save a bunch of hassle (which we've already endured to no real success as yet!) I'm starting to think of alternative ideas, along the lines of a (sort of) shaved doors approach. Leaving the handles still in the door to be used to pull the door open, but using electronic bear claw latches to secure the door (with central locking etc).
Something like this: http://www.autoloc.com/catalog/Bear-Claw-Latches/Power-Bear-Claw-Latches-with-Remote/AUTBCSMPR/Small-Power-Bear-Claw-Door-Latches-with-Remotes
Anyone used aftermarket door latches in a mini? Any other ideas on what we can utilise?
Cheers
