Need help attaching minifig to handle

[Darking]

I was trying to build some Chima sets, but I'm having difficulties to make the characters grab their vehicles.

Could anybody make it so the minifig sits behind the handle and grabs it in both cases?

I've been strugling with this for God knows how long with zero results. I know for a fact that the handle piece can be connected with the other piece in a way it stays in the exact centre, maybe this is part of the problem.

A similar problem has been recently discussed here.

Take a look there if it can helps.

I'm afraid it didn't help me.

I've already tried to rotate every point that can do so in the minifig and the handle to try and connect them, but I have only been able to attach one of the hands, not both to the handle.

Did you try to use the bike or the motorbike template instead?

Maybe the handlebar position is compatible.

Yes, I'd already tried when I replied you. I'm afraid they're not compatible. Which is actually rather weird now that I think of it...

Raise both arms up then sit.

Trial and error angles of right side hand/arm/hip until the hand grip the handle.

Apply same angles of hand/arm to left side. (Angle may need to change +/- or 180-angle)

Wow, thanks you very much!

I don't know how you did it. Those seem the same steps I first tried... Well, anyway, thank you a lot!

If I come with a similar problem in the future I'll try with your explanation before asking for help.

This is one case where the Hinge Aling Tool would be really helpful if it worked.
