Grab handle fix?

[Edgemann55]

Some time back I saw a post with a link to fix the grab handle problems. Mine are getting weak and this link had a set of metal spacers to put in behind the handle to help stiffen up the plastic for the bolt mount.

Anyone remember this and can help. I tried a search but came up empty

Thanks.

As I just fixed mine with the kit, well sort of. Its just a press fit and not much at that. Worked real well when I pulled sideways but the first straight pull it came right out. I don't know, maybe the fit is better on some than others.



I wound up gluing the pieces from the kit in then fiberglassing the thing in like another poster. Should be strong enough for even the fattest guy now.

Now would be a good time to add the pillar with gage ports seeing how you have to replace it anyway.

I was looking around on your website and could not find this item.

I looked at "interior accessories" and searched" A pillar" "A pillar kit" "repair kit" "A pillar repair kit" no luck.



What exactly is it called and if applicable Item No. please.

If thats not possible on here, I will look in your catalog when I get home.



Hmmmm maybe I should read slower now I see in your reply " We should have them in stock soon"

You can order them from here--

dodge ram, apillar, a-pillar, grab handle, dodge, truck, dodge truck, ram, cummins, ram2500, diesel



Base on what I am reading here, I will probably epoxy mine into place to make them even stronger.

I am waiting to do them until I have time to install the a-pillar single pod mount with westach egt/boost gauge too. I have all the parts, just not the time. :{:-laf

Epoxt sounds like a good idea to help firm up the plastic spline that the new "fix" parts reinforce.

They are on order & we should have them set up for sale soon. You would need to call us to purchase this item. Scott

All my guages are already in the cubby hole below the radio. Plus I do not want to loose the grab handle as I have very bad knees and need all the "get in the cab" help I can get.
