1930 DC Dodge O/S door handle gaskets

INFORMATION FOR RICHARDS BODIED DC DODGE 8 members

Members with Australian Richards bodied 1930 DC vehicles, do not purchase O/S door handle gaskets from "Steele Rubber".

There is nothing wrong with their gaskets(very good ones in fact - I have 4), but once again there are differences between the Budd bodies & Richards bodied cars, and the O/S "door  handle base " is one of them The Australian shape is long & slim, and the Budd shape is shorter, and broader.

Also the door handles are different with more handle past the spindle point (about 1")  on the Australian  handles, and only about 1/2" on the Budd handles. Overall size is the same its just where the spindle shaft is located along the handle
