Jon Haigwood Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Is there a source for Early Ford (model T& A, 32) outside door handles ? I know R7M has the interior handles and cranks but I do not see any outside handles. Thanks
misterNNL Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Check the Revell Ford model A and T kits. They have very nice chromed ones. Caution and care are needed getting them off of the sources though. Thin and delicate parts on heavy stories can = disaster.
misterNNL Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I recommend that you do some on-line research if you going to be adding outside door handles to open Ford model T's as not all of them had handles on both sides of the car. Look closely at the AMT '25 Ford roadster body and you'll see that only the passenger side door actually opened. The driver's side door did not open. The door profile is just stamped into the sheet metal.
dimaxion Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) 1926 , the left front door functioned .. as the door was functional on Open Cars .. sorry tmi ? Thanx Edited June 6, 2019 by dimaxion
Jon Haigwood Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 When I first posted this in April I had a couple 32's that had been finished and in the storage process one or more handles had gotten knocked off. I do know to research my builds before and during my builds. I do have some replacements now. I do need a "T" style handle I will need for the "rumble seat" type of trunk lid. I haven't started searching my parts stash for that yet.
Tom Geiger Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 If you are really stuck.... I used bent wire on this one.
Motor City Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 While we're on this topic, does anyone have a rumble seat handle for an AMT '32 Ford that they don't need, or know where I can get one without buying a whole kit? I have my late Dad's roadster, but the handle is missing. Thanks!
misterNNL Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 PM me your mailing address and I'll send you one of my extras.
