    I replaced the door handle with a soft one and then placed the door handle on the A frame, where all the holes aligned ( just needed longer screws and washers). According the my wife..prefect.

    Why would a Disco handle be any better than a handle from some jap fourby at a local wreckers? A handle is a handle is it not?
    If that's the case, just get a cheap old door handle from bunnings!

    Has anyone ripped through trousers/ shorts using this method. I have a largish arse but currently I am 3-0 on ripped pants from catching the door lock component.

    Vlad keen to see how it ends up looking.

    I haven't ripped trousers, but the old girl welcomed me as a new owner with a nice big bruise on the arse due to smacking into the locking mechanism.

    That sounds like the perfect solution to me personally, can you post some picks please so I can do the same?

    Handle position

    Hi Frits,

    As mentioned before I moved the door handles onto the pillar...it was a perfect fit though I used a washer before the screw to help with strength as the plastics not that strong. The side pockets also helped with storage.
