 Anyone parting a Milano?
 
 Back at home, the interior driver's door pull on my BW's cherished 87 Milano 
 gold is just about at the end of the line.  As is common, the plastic at the 
 top attaching point breaks away from the screw holding it to the door.  My 
 fix has been with washers and pieces of trimmed sheet metal, but there's 
less 
 and less there to repair... >>

Addendum:

WE just enjoyed a holiday, which gave me a chance to look into this and 
discover the front and rear interior door pulls on the 75 (Milano) are the 
same (there are slight differences between the set for the driver's and 
passenger's side, though).  Since the rear doors are nearly never used in my 
BW's car, the driver's side rear door pull was in perfect shape, so I just 
swapped it to the driver's door and used the oversized washer trick when 
putting moving the front (broken) pull to the rear door.  This little fix 
(parts: US ten cents) should be good for at least another 12 years of use.  

However, still looking for the inside door panel, driver's side, Gold model 
(gray fabric), near-perfect shape (no crunched arm bolster).

For those who made it, we had a great Time Trial at Willow Springs this past 
weekend, perfect weather, and even had several Northern CA Digesti down for 
the event!  Next event is at Buttonwillow over the July 4 weekend and is 
selling out FAST!  Make your plans now.
