I have  an assist handle that is identical to the one on the passenger side
that  I'd like to install on the driver's side. It looks like all I need to
do is  drill the holes in a pattern similar to the passenger side and then
screw  the handle in place. Before I start drilling I want to get the
experience  of anyone else that might have done this to be sure there aren't
any  unexpected gotchas I might encounter. My van is an '87  Syncro.
