1949 Mercury Outer Door Handles

[Vtinker]

I am undertaking the reproduction of the outer door handles for the 1949 Mercurys.  I need the pictures of the attaching parts that hold the handle base to the door.  If someone has a handle off the car and could send me a picture of the screws/bolts or whatever it would be a great help.

I am told that there is a difference between the regular cars and the Woody models as far as the handle mount goes.  The handle push rod length is one difference.

Anybody??

The wagon ones are exactly the same except for the rod, as you stated. Ccrods makes the rods for the woodies. Some one tried to make aluminum ones but the cost 500 a set was expensive.
