y-not Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I found a diagram for a pushbutton door handle for the GTO kit. Now that I have built the mechanisms, I can't locate the Honda part number (056120-9) referenced on the diagram. HELP! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Are you talking about something similar to the shave handle kit? If so why not just use a remote to pop the door open. Eliminate the handle and the push button altogether. I shaved the door handles on my ZX. If you need more info let me know. V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wonder if you can get the locks and keys to match on all three latches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerrari GTO Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I found a diagram for a pushbutton door handle for the GTO kit. Now that I have built the mechanisms, I can't locate the Honda part number (056120-9) referenced on the diagram.HELP! Bill I can't find the diagram/instructions for the pushbutton door handles. Does anyone know where it is listed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The MG buttons always seemed too large to me. Every honda dealer I checked with says the cvcc button is no longer available We ended up buying a bunch off ebay till we found enough in usable condition. It's a tedious solution but eventually pays off. The diagram I have.. located here: http://members.core.com/~blonnde/new/Ferrari-Door-Handle-Mechanism.jpg And if anyone comes across a bunch of perfect ones we will buy some Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Chelle, is there a writeup somewhere on the door button install. I just saw the pics in another thread of your car and I like the look of the latches. Thanks! Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Kenny, There probably is - or someone like Speedracer might have pics of how the latches went together. We just used the cvcc buttons and made our own internal mechanism. The one shown in the drawings wouldn't work for us as we cut out the entire doorskin around the original handle area. I machined a latch mechanism out of billet aluminum. I have some pics but no drawings of what I made but what I did will only work if you did the rest of the door the same way we did.

Guest Mike Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 My Alpha 1 has a button of sorts. It's a rectangular aluminum button at the top-rear of the door. You push down to activate the latch. Is this what you're talking about? If so, I'll pull the door panel, take some pics, and post them later today.

y-not Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have a spare pair of the latch mechanisms that I made for the 250 GTO spyder that I had, but never used them. The ones I made for my 250 GTO coupe work great. $90.00 priority mail to the US. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerrari GTO Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Thank you Chelle. That is the diagram I was looking for. Anyone with additional information please share. What year Civic do these door handles come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Bill, Are yours built off the cvcc buttons? have keys? This car is already painted and has holes drilled - if it's something different then I would likely need to repaint to use... have some pics? I can't use the internal mechanism as designed by Alpha because our doors are modified inside. Zerrari, I believe they are 1974-77 cvcc 3 door. They are the rear hatch release.

Kennysgreen280zt Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Thanks for the answers, im a machinist by trade, so I will be able to figure something out. I just really like the way they look, I dont have a GTO replica but im thinking of using them anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerrari GTO Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I found a source for new MG rear hatch buttons but am having a tough time finding the Honda type. Does anyone have information as to how to modify the MG pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I agree with Chelle that the MG ones are too large plus they turn and not push. The Honda button is a more elegant and accurate solution. Sorry, the diagram that Chelle posted was the only information I got from Joe Alphabet when I bought my kit. I wish I had taken pictures of them and the installation when I built and installed them. I bought my lock cylinders off the web from a Honda dealer. I think there were two part numbers that would work. I have the receipt somewhere but I am currently living in a rented home while we build our new house. Almost everything garage/car related is packed up and in storage so I can't dig it out right now. I think either Honda changed their part numbering system or there was a replacement part (or different part number) for the lock cylinder. I would call or visit a Honda dealer and see what they can do. If you know the exact model Honda, and the years it was produced, I would think that the chances of finding them in a junk yard are quite good - but don't forget you need the keys too! Sorry I can’t be more help this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Speed, Could you and any other GTO owners (Chelle, Mike, others?) post closeup shots on your door and trunk handle? BTW, Say hello to Trixie and the Fam. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'll be happy to post some pics... but mine isn't correct. I don't think I've seen another like this. I'll probably be changing mine eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelle Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'll post some of the install on our car, outside, inside the door and the pieces, keep in mind, our inside mechanism is different Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Here ya go Duke This is a picture of the Honda type door button installed on my GTO replica. I routed out a small part of the fiberglass door panel using a rounded tip and then picked up an O-ring from the hardware store. Slide the O-Ring over the lock mechanism and push tight against the door panel while installing the retaining clip from behind. This keeps the button from marking the door panel paint and keeps it tight so it doesn't rattle. Also, the Honda door button is manufactured with a rectangular boss running down its length. I ground a square notch in the circular retainer so the button would not rotate. BTW, if you study the original GTO pictures you will see some of the cars had the finger pull facing downward and some had it facing towards the back of the car.
