Mooch did it to his wagon, he fitted commodore door handles I think.

It involved cutting out the door handle and some surrounding metal from the donor door and welding that patch in on your gemi door, then grind back and smooth it all.

www.geocities.com/mygemi - should have some info.

If you remove the door handles, and istall a little button at the top of the door I think it is legal. I will send some pics if you need a better explanation.

Yeah, I think they are just the inside door locks connected to the door open mechanism.
