Outside Door Handle Install/Bellcrank Linkage Kit

Carolina Custom has come up with an innovative solution to a common problem encountered with installing outside door handles on Model A's, 32's, and other similar doors.

On these doors, the window channel or the glass will interfere with the ability to hook up the door handle to the rotary latch.

The new Carolina Custom kit uses sliding nuts that allows mounting to the same two screws that hold the handle to the door, no matter what the pattern.

From the handle, a linkage runs down to a bellcrank pivot mounted toward the bottom of the door. Another rod runs up the other side of the glass to the latch.

 

Kits include handle adapters, bellcranks, rods, and all of the necessary mounting hardware. This will allow installation of two handles.
