    Window winder handle repair available?

    Anyone know of a place offering to repair the knob on an earl('67) window crank?
    Knobs are loose, fear breaking off. Thanks

    My SWB has gone and I don't have any handles to check! but assume they are similarly attached like the LWB ones. Try carefully peening the rivets over to tightened the knob. I repaired a friends LWB winder by drilling out the rivet, cutting it flush and tapping a thread into the knob, then screwed a flat headed screw in from the back. Worked well and unnoticeable unless dismantled.

    Eric's excellent handles are for 66 and earlier. A 67 handle is different.
