Ryan, Thank you. I am of the same belief.. that is if it hung around that long and was used earlier then it was common to our make.
Now to find one or someone that is making them......
As always. Thank you

Back then, no aircraft manufacturer did anything new, unless it didn't exist already.
For example: tailbrace wires, wing drag- and anti-drag-wires (and banjo yoke wires) were made by automotive wire-wheel spoke manufacturers.
Magnetos came from Case tractors (or similar). Carbs probably from a similar source. Certification was a different thing back then!

The old time car parts flea markets are FULL of those window winders. LOTS of car builders used the same handles. I just wish I knew that BEFORE I sent mine out to be replated! Cost me a stinking FORTUNE to plate them because I didn't know they were so common! As for the flat disc faced throttle balls I just remelted my mold for them. Timing is everything. ;-( Now the good news. I still have the original knob and can pour a new mold when I finish casting some mag switch handles for the 41 and the inside door handles (you can reuse the mold material many times).
