Great job!

Now when do you start work on the prototype radiator?

I wasn't aware of this fragility
Do you happen to have any photos showing where this part is located?

Good morning Nestor, the plastic clip connects the interior door handle rod to the door lock rod. It is located behind the door card about 20 cms from the interior door handle toward the door lock.
The interior door handle design with the clip applies to the 2019 to 2022 cars. The door handle design changed for the 2023MY onward with no clip.
My car is presently with the dealer having another radiator fitted, when it returns I will take some photos.

The white bit between the release handle and the latch

I’m also interested

If it’s helpful my passenger door clip gave way a couple of years ago. It turned out the clip didn’t actually break - the design is a bit weird; the clip itself just connects two L shaped rods. One of these had popped out causing the interior door handle to fail. I took the door card off and simply attached some cable ties over the clip to hold the L shaped rods in place. It has held ever since, See pics.

Yep i did that but will go for the new clip to have a spare

That is good work indeed. The rod from the inner handle to the plastic link has come out of its seating and left me with an inoperative inside door catch on a couple of occasions, and I have become quite adept at removing the lower door card and the "Morris Marina" door handle to re-attach the rod - which requires the compression of spring while the rod hooks into the nylon link. I can do it in about 20 minutes. Unfortunately it has just this minute happened again while the car was with MMC for service and they have charged me 1.5 hours labour (£165 plus VAT) to fix it, which I am not best pleased about, but will now become very much their problem should it happen again.

PS. I like your idea of putting a cable tie over the joint to hold the rod in its seat. That really should secure it for good, unless the plastic link should break - in which case your resource is invaluable.

I think you will find this clip is exactly what you need.

And interestingly MGB door handles and rods (and connectors) look exactly the same.
