Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2006ROT :- Flush handles
I'm in the middle of improving Morphs floor in the back such that I have a hinged trap door that can be pulled up to afford access to the rear of the gearbox and also the transferbox filler points. I have a good bit of wood but I now need a flush fitting handle that will fold down and not become a trip hazard. Any ideas? Tom - I've changed the step from the rear to the cab so that the step top also folds up to allow access to the gearbox dip stick without having to unscrew a million screws and remove the floor :-) Lee D  Signaturewww.lrproject.com a.f.l. & 101ers Unofficial October 2006 <http://www.lrproject.com/afl__101_owners_unofficial.htm> "Anti's - Give them enough rope and they'll be stuck in a ditch with a lot of rope ;-) " >I'm in the middle of improving Morphs floor in the back such that I have a >hinged trap door that can be pulled up to afford access to the rear of the >gearbox and also the transferbox filler points. > >I have a good bit of wood but I now need a flush fitting handle that will >fold down and not become a trip hazard. You could use a latch like the spare wheel door has. Or if you only want a handle i think maplins have a fair range designed for speaker boxes (the ones that are like plastic strands that push flat into the ends) and the like which might do you?. you could always recess it slightly into the floor too >Any ideas? > >Tom - I've changed the step from the rear to the cab so that the step top >also folds up to allow access to the gearbox dip stick without having to >unscrew a million screws and remove the floor :-) the top of my step is unscrewable and you can reach the level plugs through it already! :) Its not as fancy as yours, but it is all sound/heatproofed!

It was the gust through the last one and the heat that has prompted this version, built more in wood and about to get thermal insulation installed too. Got some piano hinges to help reduce draft as well.

Useless guaranteed to lose > potrential customers, but that's RS, what do you expect? You can browse without logging in. Annoying, too, that the links time out. Just right for sending your potential customers away. Just go in and do a search for handle as a keyword. Then click the Category for "Carrying Handles and Pull Rings" and they're all there. Not a bad selection (there's a second page). > absolutley impossible to tell - the clueless jerk taking up space in the > world of webmastering has ensured that the links you so kindly provided > to his/her masters site are completely worthless. Bloody hell. I see what you mean. Its not as if you have to log in to the site to get the damned information in the first place. Steve >I'm in the middle of improving Morphs floor in the back such that I have a >hinged trap door that can be pulled up to afford access to the rear of the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Any ideas? How big does the handle need to be ? You can get a variety of handles that are almost flush fitting (could be recessed) from a decent chandlers. I've got one that is about 2" dia, with a hinged finger ring in the middle (chromed).

Couldn't remember the name. Interesting project, to fit out a Land Rover entirely with mahogany and brass fittings, all French polished.
