Who is doing the door handles and window regulator handles for you?  Mine are crumbling and I believe yours are the same as the ones for the 30-U.

Mike Butters.  I ordered the complete set almost 3 years ago. They are shipping out on Monday. I'll let you know how they look once I have them in hand.

I hope so.  He made a lot of these for a couple forum members. I wasn't in any rush but I will be needing them very soon.

Russ, the 30U handles are not made of pot metal.  They have the same pattern and a little smaller in dimension.  Correct escutcheons for a 30U will not fit 28/29 handles.  The opening is too small.  This picture not the best, but it does show the size difference of the rear window crank of sedan.  The broken one was in my car.

Chet, I apologize for butting in your thread.  frank

I just hope the handles he made work for my car.  I think John F did all the research.

I'm sure the handles will fit.

Frank, my car is a very early 30-U and the two original handles that were left when I got the car from the  original owner were pot metal so I am hoping that the '29 handles will be right for my car.  In any event, if they reproduce the escutcheon plates too I assume it won't be a problem.  I suspect that Walter P. did the same thing Henry Ford did which was to use up existing parts in the next model year until exhausted  if possible.

Russ, Of course.  Didn't mean to give you a bum steer. frank
