The Window handle tines are stripped as well as the door handles'. It is not the actual handle I am concerned about but the mechanism on the door. I found a repair kit for the window for models 49-50 and then the year picked back up in 55. I asked ClassicParts.com if '51 was just not listed but they said all they sold was what was listed. I really do not want to buy an entire regulator. I found a reasonably priced door mechanism but if anyone knows of a trick of the trade or a place to buy the necessary parts I would be grateful. Thanks in advance for your guidance, this is my first classic and I have learned so much from all the members of Stovebolt. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | On my 53 the previous owner had stripped the tines or splines as well on the handle and the window regulator. What he did was drill a hole thru the screw hole in the handle, right thru the splined shaft on the regulator and stuck a pin in. You could use an epoxy to hold it in place.
BUT don't forget you have done it. No one told me about mine and when I could not get the handle off I put some 'effort' into, snapping the splined shaft. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | Or you can simply file a flat spot on the spline and tighten the screw down real tight. Not pretty but it works. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 13 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 13 | Thank you to both of you for your responses. I have thought about the epoxy, but I thought for sure I would need back in the door for some reason, so I am not going that route. I have thought about the drilling option also, did not know how difficult that would be. Never heard of making the spot flat, it makes since though. I guess I need to just try it and not be afraid of ruining something. Thanks again... | | |
