  1. The handles are also different from drivers to passenger sides.

    If you change the pivot on an XD-F for an XG-H, drill the hole in the pivot needed for XG-H or buy the genuine ones as above then the handles need to be used on the opposite side to what the were originally used.

    IE:

    The XD-F drivers with changed or drilled pivot will need to go on the passenger side on XG-H, and a XD-F passenger will become a XG-H drivers.

    The cut out in the door skin is different to

    that wont work as a xg/h is a push to unlock where a xd/e/f is a pull to unlock i'll get photos as i have a few broken ones i need to fix


  2. ok in this thread im going to try and clear alot of confusion between the different doors

     

    i'm going to start with confusion between xg/h doors and Xd/e/f doors (I know d to f theirs differences)
    At the front end of the door apart from the hardware used and a rebuildable hinge their the same.
    At the back is where the difference starts.

     

    I'll start with the lock mechanism in xd/f it's external on the door and the catch is almost a flat plate

    and the catch

    a xg/h it's internal e series type and the catch is a round bar

    and its catch

    Ok now it comes to the door handles xg/h door handles and most aftermarket handles will fit a xd/e/f but not the other way around
    Hears a pic of a genuine Xh handle from the inside

    Hears a d/e/f handle from the inside

    Now you can mix and match but it takes a bit of nounce.

    xd/e/f doors are a common conversion on g/h but you have to weld the holes up on a def catch and 're drill to suit the xg/h body
    Door handles can be swapped the reverse way by drilling a hole if you have enough metal or drilling of the pivot mechanism and fitting your g/h pivot mechanism and 're securing it with a self tapping screw
      or a bolt.

     

    that concludes this section as i grab some more doors out of my parts rack i'll update the differences between xg and xh doors also the differences between the xd/e and xf doors  

     

     


  3. thanks i knew they where different but couldn't remember exactly how as these days i normally try to stick to the pre xf models nowadays
     

     

    Also yes the serpi bet can be converted to the older motor had to do it to my brothers ed as it spat power steering belts like it was going out of fashion but it was a pain to do
