I've been stripped out all the weight I can. Took out 251#s so far.
I tried to remove my door panels, because I have a buyer for them, but then I can't open the doors. Does anyone have a solution, like a small handle that will bolt into the metal door, that can be used to open the door from the inside? I believe I can keep the window switch to roll down the windows, and the buyer is ok with that. With the speakers it should drop another 20#s or so and put some cash in my pocket.

I just need some kind of handle that i can screw into the metal door, that will leverage this ball/joint wire think to engage the door opening mechanism.
Anyone have a solution? Im all about function and less about form.

How long of pull is required to actuate the latch? Maybe a brake lever off a dirt bike? Don’t know how you’d mount it, but they are very light weight aluminum.

Or something like this would work. You’d just have to fab a bracket that bolts to the linkage hole with a hole and slot for the cable end.https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-94447

I recently stumbled on a picture of a door shell and it appeared there was a reinforcement bar in there. Has anyone successfully removed one without needing to repaint the door? I understand you gotta pay to play, but just wondering if its bonded to the outer skin. Ill probably pop a door panel off and look this weekend too.

I understand. I may still consider it as long as I don't think ill trash the outter door skin. Taking 6lbs out in 10 places is 60 lbs, and if I take both door bars out ill only need too find 6lbs from 8 places. Lol
