Default I am a screw up.

I got a plain rear handle from a subscriber a while back since I was putting in my own cameras and wanted a spare in case I messed it up well. I did, I have the pace edwards power lock and should have put the camera on the other side, I thought there would be enough room, well there is but it touches the wire which in time will cause problems. So i noticed the second time the other side is clear i just wanted in like the OEM style. So I take my handle and go about drilling the new hole in the other side but this time I drilled from opposite side since the hole was cleaner . So I drilled the starter hole in case i slipped from the other side this time and flipped it over and realize I just drilled the same frikken side. Problem was my neighbour came over and was chit chatting for like a half hour till I finally showed him not realizind I locked my keys in the back. My vinyl tonneau is impossible to get into without cutting. so I wait 3 hours for my wife to come home by then I was tired from working on my 72 so I screwed up. Any donor plain handles out there that someone can ship asap. Actually not so much of a hurry I can change it within a month or so without issue I will put some wire loom on it. Let me know what ya got and how much to get it to me Just PM me as long as its new and just been replaced by a locking one I don't want any holes in it. Thanks.

I have one and I'm in Ontario! I'll have to double check at the shop but I'll let you know for sure this morning. Just can't remember where I put it.

Pics of the one installed and pics of the two not....if anyone wants one of these with a hole in the left side...same side the factory cam goes PM me.

Ya I know that. I have the Pace Edward power lock and it is on that side the camera comes in too far and hits the back of the power lock plate which would eventually cause camera failure so I don't need the key lock,and there is room over there to adjust the camera,no way to tell which way is up till it is hooked up. Very slowly getting there.
