Door lock linkage

I'm searching for the linkage that connects the outside door handle (left side) vertically to the door latch mechanism. Can anyone help me in locating this part? I can't find part numbers or illustrations but the right door is complete and the linkage looks rather complicated and would be hard to fabricate a mirror image duplicate.
Just another of those little pieces one ends up searching for.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

I did find an illustration and part number. It is in the 400i parts illustration table # 207. It is called a tie rod. It says the part is the same for both sides. Has a part number 152-30-784.
Ferrparts doesn't have it in their inventory. It will probably only be found in a complete door. I'm not real crazy about buying a door for this part but, if anyone has a destroyed, rusted or otherwise non repairable door, this part should be in the door. I might be interested in the door then.
Reminds me of those two 400's sitting in a junk yard in UK that are in another thread. I would be interested in making it worth your while to retrieve one of the "tie rods" from one of the doors on those two cars. PM me if you are close to them and would like to help me acquire one of these parts.

I contacted Tony about the possibility that he might have the part I need. As of yet I haven't heard back. I don't think that he has the part in inventory at this time.
Someone has to have a wadded up door, left or right, that still has useful parts even if the door isn't. I just haven't been able to connect with the party that has such a derelict chassis. I'd be willing to bet that any number of doors were scrapped with this part still in it. I'm just hoping there is one still sitting somewhere, as the two in the UK, that would be a source for this part. Who has one on this side of the pond?

 

Right on the money. I thought about fabricating it. I'd have to take the other door apart and since that blasted vitaloni mirror switch just decided to break the head off of the switch body, and I'm contemplating $125 to replace it, I'm setting the tie rod aside right now. I guess I shouldn't ***** too much look at some of the other prices.
Back to the tie rod, a nylatron link, a coupling nut, and a threaded steel link. I really thought there should be at least one derelict door floating around. There isn't a left or a right both are the same. If you have a rusted out door with some useable moldings on it, I'll get you on the road to replating or anodizing a piece or two with a donation for this little trinket.
I still have no idea how this got lost/broken but it's missing and a pain to work around.
Any help in acquiring one would be appreciated.
You have no idea.

 

Sort of like that.
When they sell one of the doors I wish I could contact the person that buys it. No doubt they will have the part I need in their old door. I'll just have to keep an eye open for this stuff selling.

 

Yup, that's what is in there. a piece of stainless steel cable made into a figure 8 loop using two cable crimps and a pop rivet to remove the slack because the lower eyelet was too big.
Something about this solution makes me want to find an original part, even if it comes to buying a door to get it.

 

In spite of my disinterest in having both doors apart at the same time I went ahead and pulled the "problem child" from the other door. (I hate those "Christmas tree" fasteners on the door panels.)
It isn't such a really big project, just another one.
Thanks for all of the offers of help or, from Bill26, sending me a complete useable replacement. I found what I need in the good old McMaster-Carr catalog. The rest I can fabricate without having milling machine capabilities.
Why didn't I buy that Bridgeport for $350 when I had the chance? ****!
Anyway, thanks all for your help.

 

I know, they are heavy little devils. I really should have bought it, the collet set alone, over 60 pieces, was worth more than that, and the bed ways had just been reground. It held tolerances nicely. For "one off" stuff they are very handy.
I was moving and there was just too much stuff to ship. Adding it to the freight would have been prohibitive. About once a year I cuss myself out for passing on it.
