I'm going to use expoxy putty to stick the brass nuts back onto the plastic handle. ... interesting on the second thread -Matleser just bonded the "hole" using gasket sealant !!!!!
So ....
Would you put the metal security back plate back on?
Would you also put putty between the metal security back plate and the door handle - in effect bonding the handle to the plate?

Any tips on getting a 10 spanner round the nut (nearest to the boot) ... looks like a nightmare !!!!

Cheers
