ABSTRACT:
A handle bracket intended for attachment on a vehicle door panel is a sheet metal stamping having a pair of spaced apart legs which carry spaced apart feet extending longitudinally and adapted to overlie the planar surface of the door panel. Each of the feet has a toe portion and a heel. The panel has a pair of toe straps struck from the panel and defining receptacles for receiving the toe portions of the feet when the feet are abutted with the panel and then slid longitudinally along the surface into the receptacles. The panel also has a pair of openings therein which register with the heel portions of the feet. The heels have integral retaining flaps bent forwardly from the underside thereof and being admitted through the openings in the panel to become engaged with the panel when the feet are abutted with the panel and then slid longitudinally along the surface. Thus the engagement of the toe portion in the toe straps and the engagement of the retaining flaps with the panel effectively attach the handle bracket to the panel.
