supercub Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 My Wasp 4 door has it's right outside doors and handles from a Nash Statesman, I would like to change the handles to the correct push button style. Does anyone have a set for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borough Essex Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm pretty sure 1948-55 Hudson door handles are the same, so there should be plenty around not too far from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 48-49 Are different. Not sure on 50? You want 51 and up. Had a bunch, easy to find. I think the 49 handles are the best looking. I put them on my 52 Hornet convertible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 We dont have have any old school junkyards around here anymore. Are lefts and rights the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yes they are the same. The plunger or rod, what ever you want to call it. That presses on the latch in the door. Can be longer for the front doors, and shorter for the back doors. Side to side they are the same. Front to back, they are the same. Except for the length of the plunger/rod. Going front to back. You can change that part out, by taking apart the push buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 I can see the plunger rods in the peep holes, both styles have the same rods. I lubed the mechanisms, and all four work really smooth. The mounting is a little different for each but I can work that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
