While finishing up the interior on my AA over the weekend the original crank handle fell off the regulator, hit the running board and broke in half. I have an original on the passenger door so a repop is not going to work. Hoping someone out there in Double A land has a spare original that I could purchase. Here is a photo of my damaged crank handle.

Re: Original Window Riser Crank Handle Needed
Same exact scenario happened to me a month ago. The engine and road vibrations must have unscrewed the screw and as I opened the passenger door the handle just fell off, hitting the edge of the running board just right and suddenly there were two. I "aged" a new one so it matches until I find an original at the bottom of some one's box of stuff at a swap meet. These trucks are like Harleys and one must re-tighten various nuts and bolts routinely. Lug nuts should be checked routinely as well as the two bolts which hold the steering box to the frame. Steve.
