Four candles......?

[8balladdict]

Ok, not four candles - or fork handles for that matter....but just handles. Namely handles for getting in the back and sides, like the one in the cab. Do they exist? If so, anyone know where I can get some?

 

[Pauly]

@T6 Dave mentioned this a couple days back, i think he was talking about grab handles for B pillars to assist getting in the side doors

 

[8balladdict]

Ah right, didn't see that. I think they would be very useful, especially for the back!

 

[8balladdict]

@T6 Dave Have you found any? I can't see your post on the subject....

 

[Fish]

Do velle's have them?.

 

[8balladdict]

Me not know....but there seems to be some holes in the back in the perfect position....

 

[Pauly]

Im not following this handle stuff
If you or @T6 Dave post some pics I can do some digging, show me holes and google pics of the handles and will see what I can find out for you

@8balladdict - Forum area Interiors, Seating, Lighting and the thread is Kombi highline retrofit B post handles. Hope that helps, but no viable information there either.

Can anybody help these two members please ?

@Pauly

Courtesy of @T6 Dave This is the handle which is similar (same?) as the front ones. T6 Dave reckons they might be listed in ETKA, possibly used in the Shuttle?

 

[8balladdict]

And here are the holes in the back....



The only thing I would add, the ones in the cab seem to be curved to match the pillar so not sure they would fit properly.....

 

[Pauly]

That makes sense I think mine has a metal plate behind the trim there, will pull it off a have a look in the week

@Pauly and @8balladdict The handle in T6 Dave's photo is on the B post, hence his tbread title, just to clarify my post above. Sorry for the inconvenience

Correction to the above. The handles and plates ARE listed in ETKA.

No inconvenience at all. I would like one for the b pillar also but mainly for the back. So do we think the ones in the ETKA will work for both applications?

@8balladdict I'm not sure that you can get a handle in where your photo shows holes as it appears to be the rear hatch/doorshut area.

Oh yeah....that's a very good point!!

My reply was out of sync with the thread I was replying to T6dd with the picture of the handle adjacent the front passenger seatbelt anchor, I'm sure my van has a metal plate hidden behind the B pillar trim but the trim in that pic is totally different

 

[T6 Dave]

B post handles need a plate that mounts to pillar to provide screw holes at back edge by door, just not sure if it needs a deeper trim, or if you can just drill the screw holes in the std kombi b post trim.

Might be ordering mine later this week, and will then see. Might have to put in a pair of riv nuts to mount the plate to pillar... Will see..

Here's the ETKA parts pics..

Cheers for the info @T6 Dave !

Thank you for that @Pauly , perhaps @T6 Dave's post with ETKA detail might help clarify the issue ?
