Question Billet window crank and door handle adaptor

I want to build my own window cranks and door handles but I cannot find the billet type adaptors only. I have done an extensive google search, but can only find the adaptors if I purchase the cranks and handles.

Any suggestions as too where to purchase? Only need the splined adaptors

Re: Billet window crank and door handle adaptor

These could be made by a Machine Shop.

What are your Idea's of what would attach to them?

If you had someone make a Broach ?

You could press your own.

One off stuff is costly though.

I was planning on making the handles out of oak to match the bed and use a tapered roll pin through the handle and adaptors for attachment.

Its less expensive to purchase a cheap set of billet handles and just use the adaptors rather than have them made. I'm sure there is a vendor for the adaptors, but I haven't found it yet....

Re: Billet window crank and door handle adaptor

Great Idea.

Maybe someone will know a source for just the adpaters

You just need the adapters in a set like below?

Exactly what I need. Most likely will go with the a cheap set of handles / cranks just to get the adaptors.....

Re: Billet window crank and door handle adaptor

It may be cheaper and easier to re-machine the shaft on the window regulator to a square and then machine your own square adapter.
