DOOR HANDLE REPAIR PLATE - D
Fix a common failure point in your OBS Ford door the right way.
These stainless steel Door Handle Repair Plates are designed to reinforce the weak inner door skin found on 1980–1997 Ford F-Series trucks and Broncos. From the factory, the sheet metal behind the door handle is prone to cracking and breaking over time, leaving the handle mechanism loose—or with nothing solid left to mount to.
This repair plate restores strength and provides a solid, reliable mounting surface for your door handle assembly.
We accept product returns within 30-days after you have received your order. All returns are subject up to a 20% restocking fee after approval.
Started out needing the drivers side repaired, and figured if I do one why not do both.
Many times I have welded in reinforcement and so on to fix these and this kit here from experience makes life so simple I will not be using/doing anything else from here forward.
They fit perfectly in the cup on both sides, no gaps, no rivet holes lead to anything important behind. Comes with everything you will need aside from a 1/8” drill bit.
I recommend using a center punch to all of your holes so you don’t walk the bit given some of the holes are on slopes.
This brought my door handle from sloppy to sturdy and firm and I don’t see it getting sloppy again.
Incredibly happy worth every cent.

97 Ford Crew Cab - The mechanical parts/adaptors are of good quality and not too difficult to install, but the electrical instructions could be improved, and I’d appreciate a hard copy to have under the truck.
To get a clean install, I ended up removing all of the thresholds, upper seat belt mounts, and lower panels except for the driver's side kick panel. Then I removed all of the plastic wire conduit, carefully laid out the wires, and made my plan for drilling, cutting and splicing where needed. The only wires that needed to be extended were the main power and ground. Once I had wiring neatly laid out, spliced and the heat shrink installed, I reinstalled the plastic conduit. I spent 24 hours on the disassembly, wiring, and reassembly, but it turned out nice. A few grommets of various sizes like single wire, ¼” and ½” I.D. will come in useful as well as some baling wire as a wire puller/fish tool.
In the end they turned out great and tucked away nicely, but it took me 30 hours to get them installed. I recommend this adapter kit!
The light went in no problem and look great at night, the only down side was I ordered the wrong one, which is on me because I didn't realize I had the metal dome light. Only recommend to double check the kit you order. Sorry for the dirty dash, its a work in progress.
Originally planned to piece together a set of links for my 99 Dana 60 axle under my bullnose ford. When adding in the time wasted trying to source different parts and hardware as well as designing them this was far cheaper and very high quality. I ended up welding the tabs to the frame. I figured if I ever decided to run no sway bar they wouldn’t hurt being there. Even when pushed to the edge of the frame there is a little miss alignment from mount to the sway bar but I doubt it would ever hurt anything. I added some 1/2 inch aluminum round stock spacers between the links at the top mount to push the links inward toward the center of the frame and that seems to have helped the alignment of the links and made the mounting position more parallel. Overall super happy with these. If sky’s has made it for the front end of my truck it’s under there.
The steering linkage upgrade for my Dana 60 axle is top shelf. The rep at OBS was excellent to deal with, Replies to my questions were very quick and helpful. The package arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I highly recommend OBS for your custom parts and obs parts.
Great product! Easy to install one step closer to getting my Lighting restored!!
Excellent product and solution for my OBS Bronco
