Where can I get one of these? (1 Viewer)

[Richard Birkett]

The knob on one of the wardrobe doors has broken and I'm trying to find a replacement but without any success.
It looks like this

If all else fails I could probably repair that one if you post it to me.

Thanks for the offer Stealaway. I'm still hoping to find a replacement before getting the plastic padding out!

A dealer maybe?

What's the make and year of the van?

Aren't Funsters lovely?
Nicley done @Stealaway

The bar looks like the standard door handle bar. Cut it flush, drill and tap the handle. Machine the bar round and cut a thread to suit.

Stealaway, it's all plastic I'm afraid.
NickNic, it's a Carthago and I've tried southdowns who can only source the whole espagnolette setup.
Thanks both anyway

Camper UK in Lincoln are also Carthago agents. Might be worth a try.

Nicknic, thanks I'll try them.
Kool kroozer, I'm sure I can fix it but was trying to find a replacement if possible.

The knob itself will pull off the splines. Try a decent hardware store (trade) for the remainder. If you can't buy a part with the splines the square bit looks just like the square section used in domestic interior door handles (1/4" square). Obtain one of those (any hardware store or your bits drawer at home) then file the corners off the bit where the knob needs to fit. A drop of Araldite or similar in the knob before final fitment & it'll never fail again.

Tonyidle,
Unfortunately it's 1 piece moulded plastic but I have repaired is by drilling down the length of the spindle and tapping in a length of m4 treaded rod, secured with araldite. A bit tricky to line up the join but it worked.
Thanks everyone for your help

For a Carthego it looks like a cheap and nasty fitting! Glad you got it sorted

 

[Richard Birkett]

Speve, You're right, I think this one plus the one on the other wardrobe constituted the 99p at the end of the cost
