    MTV door handle

    The FMTVs have lock cylinders in them. A little hard to see here... guess Danny didn't mask off the cylinders before painting:roll: No biggy, I don't have keys and locking an open cab is pointless:mrgreen:

    MTV door handle

    TehTDK, I need to check my storage containers more often :) I found a new (but dirty) LVAD door complete with hardware and glass. I knew I had another door, just forgot how complete it was. :lol: Now if I find a left hand door , I'd be set.

    MTV door handle

    Thanks for the lead. I looked at their site and saw something similar, but still different. Some of the info I've gathered over the last few years is that Steyr licensed a US manufacturer to make the cabs (sheetmetal) for S/S ( I don't know the details), and many of the cab components were still...

    MTV door handle

    I got so many pdfs listed, I need to be specific to which I need.:grin: I am keeping an eye open for the handles in post#2. Actually any of the hardware that goes to the lock/latch mechanism for spares. If I had to, I could upgrade to the newer handle and make new connecting rods. And like a...

    MTV door handle

    The FMTVs were built under license from Steyr and were pretty much DOT compliant with the " anti-burst" type locks, so any slam type lock is out of the question. Though it is possible that the handle could have been used on a Volvo, knowing how Steyr, SDP, Puch would usually contract with a...

    MTV door handle

    With that manufacturer I found 2 likely lock models. Both used on big rigs. Check your dimension against yours. The 030-0850 is FMVSS approved Unfortunately, I didn't see a replacement for the earlier trucks. But they would have used a handle readily available to Steyr in Austria.

    MTV door handle

    As expected, especially after getting the last pdf. I haven't looked but the exterior handle may be the same as used on some big rigs like a Kenworth or Peterbuilt. The rest of the door hardware is the same as earlier versions of FMTVs

    MTV door handle

    Attached is the pdf of the late door hardware. Not going over it thoroughly, it looks as the exterior handle was the only item changed. Definately not a slam lock

    MTV door handle

    Do you have a pic of the other side of the latch? Or the edge of the door. Slam locks aren't DOT legal. If the later FMTV used them, they are what they are... As I first said, I haven't seen the new handle assemblies firsthand. The original style is an "anti-burst" style which means the door...

    MTV door handle

    I don't have any knowledge on the newer exterior handles BUT very much doubt any of the US door handles are compatible. Other than the there are probably exemptions for military use, the slam latches in Gimpyrobb pic have not been DOT approved since 1972ish for passenger compartments, and the SD...

    MTV door handle

    The SS / BAE series of FMTVs have 2 different types of door hardware. I've been looking for spares for my trucks and only found a few limited number of parts on flea bay.;) Sellers generally only know that it goes to a FMTV from the NSN and are totally lost after that. These trucks were made...
