Last year I purchased a second hand drivers side handle and screwed it
straight into the captive bolts in the screen piller of my 1985 Transporter.
I assume the 1991 would have the same captive bolts for L/h and R/h drive
models through to 1991
They were covered with plastic covers which I had to remove no holes to
drill.
