I just noticed one in the for sale section.

Almost sure the shorter and longer handles are different designs and aren't compatable with each other.

Also remember to get the right side for your door (right hand lock for right hand door) or the key wont open it.

for sale one is sold sorry


late ones can be fitted to early busses no problem , they do however rub the paint , ideally need about 2mm filing off the edge that turns towards the door.
