Removing a bootlid handle

Evening all,

My newly acquired P3 is missing the mechanism behind the handle, drivers side.

The wrecker here near Sydney has been unable to remove same from his spares car. His question is:

Is there is a bolt securing the latch assembly to the square shaft/ handle?

Thanks in advance
Max P

There is no bolt. you need to file the sharp chisel blowes that hold the cap. See here https://lulisml.wordpress.com/2011/11/2 ... %9E%D7%A8/ and also here https://lulisml.wordpress.com/2012/12/2 ... %99%D7%A2/
