Window handle knobs

[70cobrascj]

Bought some new Scott Drake window handle knobs and the don’t fit my handles.
Anyone know if there are different style handle knobs available?

A couple years ago, I had the exact same issue.
At that time there were no alternatives, (that I was able to source) so unfortunately I ended up buying new repop handles that worked with those knobs. (They were flat holes instead of the cone type)
I am not sure tho if someone makes them now

Yeah I think I found your post after I made mine. Thanks

Most of Scott drake parts are junk if you ask me. They just don’t pay attention to detail.

NO WAY...a none fitting Scott Drake part, who would've known!

I am relatively new to Mustang restoration, and people I knew that were in to Mustangs recommended Scott Drake to me. I bought a few Scott Drake parts at the beginning of my resto and none of them were quite right. I ended up buying other brand parts and using them instead. My question is; have Scott Drake parts always been like this or is it since Holley bought them out? I can't really grasp how they are so often recommended, if the quality of the parts I ordered is an indicator of their overall quality. Or is most of their stuff great and I just happened to buy some of the stuff that they are not good at?

It just slays me that companies go to all the trouble to remanufacture parts and then do it so wrong. It's not like they even picked a specific version of a part, they just do it wrong. What's the point?

Scott Drake has always been this way. Absolutely my last choice. Chuck

This is how I rebuilt mine. https://72mach1mustang.blogspot.com/2023/07/window-winder-handles.html
Mine is a 72. Fortunately the handles were in good shape..
Basically I bought 73 window winder handle that have the knobs installed. I then removed the knobs and reinstalled them on my original 72 handles using a screw and washer after carefully drilling out the new knob.
The 73 handle is different to the 71/72 where it connects to the window winder assembly.

See my blog for more detail as to the steps.
