      Hi,  struggling to find outer door handle replacements for my Light 15, I have spoken to Chris at TOC Spares and he tells me the one he carry have the wrong hole centers and so are not a good fit.

      Does anybody know of an alternative from another make that used the same handle?

        Hi Nigel,

        This site might be worth a look. I have no idea if they have what you want or what sort of quality they are but they look like they might have something.

        Otherwise, there will be some in someone’s garage. Have you tried John Gillard?

          Hi Nigel, if you’re completely stumped, why not fit the French handles? I got a set from Franssen for my 1953 Slough Light 15. They are such an elegant design compared to the English handles https://www.citroen-traction-avant.com/en/shop/article/215=!002/Outside_door_handle_rear_left_chrome

            Hi Nigel

            I have had these fitted on mine https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/products/701-container-exterior-door-handle-14

            with 44mm escutcheon. Round headed screws can be used at an angle to camouflage the different spacing.

              Thank you for all the suggestions, some I have seen but some to follow up.

              Patrick, I have considered these handles but with a 38mm hole center rather than the 44mm centers as my fixing hole centers are 39mm, any thoughts ?

                Nigel,

                Mine were done using 44cm centres and redrilling the back plate to fit.
