George Rohrbach Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Bob, I have some handles, but I am not sure what you mean by remotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I believe he refers to the rod from the handle to the latch behind the door panel. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 A remote is the latch behind the inside door handle under the door panel with a shaft sticking through the door panel to attach the inside door handle through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fh4ever Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 hsperf was parting a '39 about a year ago, his post indicated a second parts car too. I can find the link to his post if you need it. I might have a couple but they will be rough as they were in a fire long ago....I wont bother looking unless asked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowtown Commander Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The parts book lists the part numbers for 1937 thru 1939 door remotes as #264933 (left front and left rear) and 264932 (right front and right rear) so it would seem any car from 1937 tru 1939 would have what you need. Stephen Allens shows that they have both sides for $28:50 each. I know I have some used ones if for some reason they are out of stock but it would take some digging to get to them.

George Rohrbach Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) I am not positive which of these handles are for the '39. I think I know, but I am just not 100%. Pick 1, 2, or 3. Tell me which you are in need of please. All of my parts are not so easily accessible these days, given the situation.

fh4ever Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 here are pics of my '39 interior door handles for comparison...they appear to have the same shape as what the body catalog page 62 shows (26958P). The window cranks have that same cross pattern on the surface as the door handles. Interesting to me as I never noticed before, there appears to be a black plastic coating or heavy paint remaining on the end and more on the underside at the opposite end. Were they not bare metal? George, I am looking at the body catalog page 62...#1 might be 2117-40A ( for a 3A, 4A), its difficult to tell on #2 and #3, the catalog only shows an illustration of one length handle matching that shape and its 2117-40E (G to 5G). Perhaps one of yours will fit anyway? if the boss dimensions are needed, I can easily measure mine to see if any of your handles might work.

rbk Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) It looks like I located most these parts. I still need 4 clips part number 258830. These are the clips that hold the handle to the shaft. Let me know if you have 4 of these. Thanks for your replies.

I kindly asked Mike to operate the one so I could photograph it in the 'up' or 'on' position as seen. I've since found an NOS set of universal semaphores of my own to play with now.
