    ????????32 3W door handle location????????

     



    I want to put some outside door handles on my fiberglass 32 Ford 3 window coupe body. Can someone with an original steel 3w please measure how far down from the CENTER of the body line and how far back from the front edge of the door the FRONT mounting screw is. Thanks

    I'm sure Randy's dimensions will help. When I did mine I just eyeballed it from a picture for close. Depending on how the manufacturer of your body built the door inside and what you use for linkage might force you to juggle it some anyway.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Thank you very much. It is hard to tell, are the screw holes one directly above the other (verticle), or are they canted at the same angle as the front of the door edge?
    Thanks again, Dennis

    They are parallel to the door edge.
