this was the first thing I broke on my blazer, I ended up rigging it back up with some epoxy, it worked great

Oh, that definitely puts a damper on things, haha, maybe hit up a junkyard? I'm sure most places would just give them to you

mine came broke, and they are known for having this problem. I bought a kit off ebay for about $20 and it came with 2 handles and hardware.

my driver side is busted and is currently being held together by super glue, back strapping, and Gorilla Tape. i'm just waiting for the right color to come in at my junkyard before i replace it.
