FITTING AND ADJUSTING THE OUTER HANDLES
Front door, early production
1. Check that measurement B, Fig. 28=15± 1 mm
(0.59±0.04"). Adjust if necessary. Tighten the
l ocknut (2) on the screw (3), Fig. 26.
2. Fit the outer handle (1) with link (6) fitted on.
3. Connect the link (6) to the lever (14). Adjust-
ment is done by selecting one of the three
holes so that the recess and hole in the outer
handle coincide. This is done by inserting a
pin (4) into the hole in the outer handle as
shown in the figure. They should come in
line when the locking knob (15) is pressed
down, i.e. the lever (7) is pressed down and
the lever (8) moved backwards against the
l ock.
Late production
1. Check that the measurement B, Fig. 28=
1 mm (0.59 ± 0.04"). Adjust if necessary.

2. Fit the outer handle (1) with link (6) fitted on.
3. Connect the link (6) with the lever (14). The
l ever in the handle is set in such a position
that a pin (4) (3 mm=0.12") can be inserted
i n the hole in the handle. Adjusting is done
by screwing the link up or down so that the
l oop of the link (6) comes in line with the
l ever (14) on the lock.
Rear door
Late production
1. Check that the measurement B, Fig. 28= 15±
1 mm
(0.59±0.04").
Tighten the locknut (2) on the screw (3), Fig.

l ever in the handle is set in such a position
that a pin (4) (3 mm=0.12") can be inserted
i n the hole in the handle. Adjusting is done
by screwing the link up or down so that the
l oop of the link (6) comes in line with the
l ever (8) on the lock.
Adjust if necessary.
Inner locking knob
With the locking knob in the pressed-down posi-
tion, measurement C, Fig. 28 should be 12± 1 mm
(0.47 ± 0.04") for both the front and rear door.
STRIKER BLOCK
The striker block (Fig. 29) is made of steel and
fitted with a floating nut plate. The block is
adjustable since the holes in the body have a
l arger diameter than that of the attaching screws.
The vertical position of the striker block is checked
by closing the door with the press-button of the
outer handle pressed in, when the dowel pin should
slide correctly into the striker block. N.B. This should
be done immediately after the striker block has
been fitted.
Ventilation windows
REMOVING AND FITTING
The ventilation window is built in with one of the
guide rails for the winding window. A suitable pro-
cedure for removing the ventilation window with
sealing strips is as follows:
1. Carry out operations 1- 5 under "Removing
the door upholstery".
2. Unscrew the five screws which hold the win-
dow to the door and door arch, see Figs. 30
and 31.
