Window Operator Handle Needed

[dbj216]

I need a couple of window "lever" operator handles for my 75 Overlander.

Anyone know a source for this part, photo below? I need just the plastic part. Appreciate any advice.

If you can not find exact replacement, this would be an option.

add edit:
the item you are looking for is cabinet or shower hardware, called a back to back cylinder pull

add edit 2:
Another option would be to purchase plastic dowels, cut to length, drill holes for through bolts, sand the ends round

Thank you Allan: Back to back cylinder pull. I'll remember that one. I was going to call it a recoil starter handle for the old lawn mower Your idea of making one from a plastic dowel is good.

I hopeful someone might have a couple from a junk seventies trailer.

David, we're reproducing them this summer. But in chrome plate. I hope that works for you.

They'll be VTS-2434. No other real details yet but we'll have them by early October.

Great to know. Yep they will work for me. Maybe add a touch of class to an old Overlander. I'm very happy you fired up your lathe and made some out of aluminum. Too expensive to build a mold for low volume replacements.

Gotta love Vintage Trailer Supply. I'm a big fan.

Even better...they will be cast zinc and chrome plated. We're taking a chance on demand.

I broke one when I removed it from the lever. It is 30 year old plastic that probably sees a lot of sunshine and UV. It was brittle, and when trying to loosen the rusty nut and bolt, the plastic broke on me.

I believe the shiny ones will be a decorative improvement, especially in the galley or dinette areas where they are exposed and not always hidden behind curtains.

When I get my set, I'll do a VTS review on them.

We will be grateful for any feedback positive or negative.

Thank you,
