Someone posted this part number at Wag

Which is the J3, Clipper, early Pacer and Super Cub trim handle not the longer, larger Tri-Pacer part.

I did a little Googling and re-located the Bob Drake website. This appears to be the trim crank we have and at the bottom of the page it also shows the handle escutcheon, door handle as well as the armrest. I can swear that they are 100% authentic to the original equipment if that's what you require. I've added a screenshot.

Good deal, need to call and verify the length and all will be right with the world for a split second.

Re-chromed Clipper original trim handle.

That's very nice looking, Gilbert!

Due to scraping/chafing, I just completely removed my escutcheon quite some time ago. The crank still works fine, just that that flimsy piece of aluminum, as we say in the Great Northeast, had "had the radish." I got tired of feeling & listening to it screech as the crank was turned.

Perhaps I might be able to replace it...though mine seems to be a bit more of a cool, more aerodynamic concave shape....

What is the crank arm distance? I think there may have been no inventory when I tried to find one about a year ago. I got one that looks similar but only measures 2.5" from hub to knob. A little more moment distance would make it work easier.

I think I am missing something here. All the handles, etc. I have seen have square drive handles but this project I have, a 61 Tripacer seems to have a circular attachment point. Any suggestions on what I am missing?
