Help with inside door handle lock rod

Tried search first and couldn't find anything so if I could get a little help here I could get the door panels on today. I got the outside door handles opening with the release arm all bolted up. I'm just struggling with the inside thin handle rod and it's position to the latch.

Oh ya it's an old Fibefab kit

The original rods connecting the latch and inside handle mechanisms were rather skimpy, and flexed too easily..... I replaced mine with 1/8 in. dia. stock..... When you form the rods put in a "Z" bend midway down the rod.... This will allow you to adjust the rod length to suit handle placement.... Hope this helps....

What Leon said---also have you looked at the CMC installation manual which is found in the kbnowledge section at the top of this page.

Yes that is it thanks people

I.ve always wondered why my door handle buttons were so hard to depress.. Is their a picture of a better set up that I can duplicate. I did upgrade the rods when built it. I used a 3/4 angle iron with a overlay in the button zone to make it sturdy and it is Z-ed as you discribed. and it did have flimzy rods before.

My car is a VS. But I think it could be a Ryan Motors leftover ..I think they bought out CMC.. and If Im corect? V.S. bought out Ryan .

Leon got some pics or drawing? Id like to re design this and upgrade it.

Id like it to work perfect with light pressure. That means better leverage at the button and more travel. On mine the rod pivot is about 3 inches from the bottom of the door.
The pivot point needs to be closer to the door latch..I want it to be a lot easyer to press. I've never been complety pleased with it as it is.

I use a bit of wire rope and bike cable ends

Pictures Tuesday Barry..... Brief run down also....

Robert ,, and Leon Im referring to the outer door handle and latch rod..I used a vw pull rod for the inner handle. Thats a easy one

Making the outter button push and click as nice as bug is my goal..

It's all in the geometry of the internal door mechanism, if the push button itself is not defective..... ( corroded / damaged )
