81 82 83 1981 1982 1983 gasket lever

You are buying a black Delrin door handle bushing. It fits Volkswagen Vanagon from 1980 to 1984 with the long handle. Hole in the door is smaller than the 85-92 doors.  No longer available from Volkswagen and what was available was a simple spacer and gasket. Without this bushing in place or if you have a worn bushing the door handle does not have the support it needs. Is there a scrape mark on the door from the handle rubbing it? You can easily break your handle without this bushing to support it. Yes the kids hang on it an people pull out on it. Your handle has a better chance of surviving if it has the bushing behind it to keep it centered and supported.


This bushing is made of Delrin. Acetal a plastic bearing material stronger than nylon, abs or pvc. Custom made with tighter fit to work better than the original. Not available anywhere else, I custom make each one. Check behind your handle, do you have your bushing? Handles are expensive and getting harder to find. Each bushing is made slightly larger for more support, tighter fit and long life. It should never wear out! Easy to install. If you have replaced the door handle before, then this should be simple for you. If your door has been painted, the paint thickness may affect installation as the bushing snaps into the hole of the door and is test fit on a door that has not been repainted.


You will not receive the handle or broken handle. You are buying the black delrin bushing only.
