Is it possible to get decent chrome ones rather than have plastic ones that look like they came out of a Christmas cracker?

Not that I am aware of as they have to be able to go down below the sight line in the door for security. Anyone breaking in can't pull them up when the doors are locked.

Several after market companies such as rip speed do them Zeb and Halfords stock some but you would have to try them. As Mike says they drop right down.

At least she's not IN them (here comes another left hook.... and it scores a direct hit) screens gone a bit fuzzy now.
My mate with the Freelander had looked at fitting different door lock nobs I'll see how he got on with his search.

The ones you can get from halfords etc are screw type ones as far as i know.

And the ones in the 75 are stuck on to the metal rod!

Ken

Surely is they are the same size/shape that would not be a problem?

Thats shot that one down in flames then :) and there is not enough clearance to cover them in anything. Do you think it would be possible to put a thread onto the metal rod Alex or fill the Halfords one's and re drill so they are a tight fit and can be stuck to rod?

Yes you could do that.

But as long as you get a new pins that fit the hole in the door so they don’t rattle about.

But that does mean door card off etc

The metal rod (other end of the pin) just unclips very easily of the lock its self!
