  1. Following off Ed's theory .  And not finding one so easily . I made the below pic adapter to use my key bezel /trim in the dash with modern switch currently in it . With coil modern coil on inside cowl . The adapter replaced coil mount three hole to press trim in plate and give adjustable plate to mount key switch in 3/4" hole . Only need to repaint dash to hide previous plate with hole they drilled .

    I need some advice from the experts.  I'm getting ready to put the door handles back together and install them.  Like an idiot, I forgot to take pictures before they went to Paul's Chrome.  I'm pretty sure I have the correct order of parts, but I need some help.

     

    Here is a shot of the handle parts.  From left to right you see the handle with the integral shaft, the tube that covers the shaft, the escutcheon with the two screw holes (the holes accept screws that attach the assembly to the door), a large washer, a spring cup, the spring, and the other spring cup.  As far as I can see, they assemble in the order shown.

    Originally everything was held on the shaft by what appears to be a factory applied swage.  You can see the swaged area on the shaft in this shot.  It has obviously been ground down to get the assembly apart.

     I can't see how I can reproduce the swagging process myself.  Has anyone figured out how to do this while you're trying to hold everything together?  I think I remember someone suggesting drilling a small hole in the shaft and using a metal rod to hold things in place.  This is actually done on the door handle that locks.  Any suggestions and any photos of the assembled shaft showing this area would be appreciated - especially an original.

    nice .

    Looks like a 33 PD convertible coupe.  Not a 32 because that year had a windshield post that was part of the body.  Doesn't look like a 34 because the door top garnish molding is thin, 33 style rather than the wider 34 style.  Can't see the front of the inside door panel which would tip it off, the winder for the vent window would be seen (which doesn't exist on the 33 PD Plymouth).  Could also be the equivalent 33 Dodge convertible coupe.  Only other potential is an early 30s Chevy convertible which had a similar windshield post.  My vote goes to the 33 Plymouth PD convertible coupe.

    Did you mean '33 PC ?  I believe PC came out in late 1932 per Ply33 site .
