Help needed '32 door handle spring replacement

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by daddy_o's_diner, Jul 27, 2013.

  1. 20130727_133137.jpg Needed help ASAP with how the door remote spring fits in the mechanism on a 32 Ford 5-window. I'm in the garage with the latch out and cannot for the life of me figure out where the replacement spring goes. Mine was completely missing. I have searched here and using Google and cannot find any pics or a description on how the spring fits in the mechanism.

    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Thanks in advance

    When I put a new spring in mine (and also a friends) we had to remove the holder by straightening the tabs before the new spring could be installed. Hopefully the tabs can be re-bent. If not a small tack weld may be needed.
     
  6. Thanks for the response Bill.

    When I opened this thread I had already ground the tabs off one side of the holder. I just couldn't wrap my head around ho the spring fit in. When HRP posted I installed the spring, closed up the holder and tac welded it closed. Easy peasy.

    I'm back on the road and no longer have to worry about my door flying open at highway speeds.
