'50s Hehr window escape latch handle

I'm thinking about making a reproduction Hehr window escape latch handle. if there is any interest I'll make a run of them. These would be just like the original and plated in zinc. let me know.

I need front & rear Hehr standard windows, for a 56 & 57 Overlander. I wish we could whip up a few of those!

I'm interested in a handful of those. I haven't counted how many are missing yet. I'm with Kirk T. We need a rear Hehr window for our '54 Cruiser.

The rear window levers in my 55 are gone. I've never seen what they look like until now. I thought that they were probably one of the sawtooth levers that VTS sells. I am also missing the vertical bar where the lever attaches to the window. I currently use blue tape to keep that window shut . I need to find a solution.

Hi zgears. I added the picture to the preceding post.

When you're posting, scroll below the post entry box and open the 'Manage Attachments' link. Put your Photobucket link there and click 'Upload.' It will then attach to your post in full view.
