I couldn't find a thread on this topic so I thought I'd start one. Please redirect if I'm missing something.
I'm searching for the paddle handle return spring that I imagine many TJs with floppy exterior door handles need but so far can't find it anywhere. I'm wondering if anyone on the forum has had better luck. I thought it would be a common part but alas..
I know you can get new handles but in my experience aftermarket versions are of inferior quality. I prefer to restore the originals so no need for new handle recommendations. If I end up having to find something similar (many older cars use something similar) and alter it I'll go that route. Thanks in advance.
