NEED M416 corner Handles (GOT THEM)
Just bought an M416. It is in great shape, but the two front corner handles have been cut off.
Does anyone know if these are available anywhere?

Re: NEED M416 corner Handles (NOT FOUND)
My son is in Manila and contacted mdjuan. They did not have the handles in stock, even though they have a bulletins announcing them. Sooooo..... I'm still looking for two corner handles.

Re: NEED M416 corner Handles (STILL NEED 2)
MD Juan did not respond to any of my emails. My son checked while he was in Manila, and was told they were not in stock. Not sure what the issue is with this company, but I still need two handles.
ANYONE?
ANYONE?

Re: NEED M416 corner Handles (STILL NEED 2)
I had an old M100 a guy gave me that was crushed by a tree falling on it. I cut it apart and saved a lot of the parts. I can try to find the handles and take a picture if you think they might be the same.

Re: NEED M416 corner Handles (STILL NEED 2)
Vin, the corner handles on the M100 are the same as those on the M416. There's more likelihood of getting them from someone with a rotted-out M100 tub. If I were you, I'd post a wanted message in the Trailers-1/4-Ton section on the G503 Board.Vzike wrote:Just bought an M416. It is in great shape, but the two front corner handles have been cut off.

I got home late last night and used a torch to poke around the shed where the parts are and did not turn up the handles. But I still have them just need to get my hands on them.

Hi Alan,
Thanks. As Ken said above, the handles are the same. Let me know when you find them. I'm in no rush.

Re: NEED M416 corner Handles (STILL NEED 2)
Went on to D&L Bensinger but I'm not able to navigate the site on either an iPhone or iPad. I sent a message to the company email address and received a response that they have the handles, but did not offer any way to purchase them. I tried calling, but no answer.
Does anyone have any experience with this company? Is it legit?

Bensinger has been around for a very long time. Daryl is a hell of a nice guy and fun to joke around with. They are very legit. Be aware though that the stuff he sells comes from MD Juan so if they do not have the handles then Bensinger probably doesn't either.

Re: NEED M416 corner Handles (STILL NEED 2)
Ok, when I emailed the company, Lida responded that they were in stock, and the price. That was it. No idea how to order. The site does not navigate to them. I'm unsure how to order them. Perhaps they closed early for TG, so I'll try calling again next week.
