Post by Algonac27 » Sat May 11, 2019 6:21 pm

Hey everyone first time posting on here I’m in the process of restoring a 20 coupe and need pics of the interior door pulls or handles also window straps what keeps them from falling in the door thanks for all the help. Willing to buy a correct set of interior handles or pulls if anyone has a set available Thanks Dale

I don’t own a 20 Coupe but from time to time there have been forum posts of 17-22 T Coupes exterior and interior pics and information. Try doing a forum search of past years forums and you’ll probably find them.
As far as finding interior and exterior door pulls and handles the closed T’s parts are harder to find than the open cars. That’s just a fact.
I have a 24 Coupe and had a hard time finding the correct window regulators for that car.
It took about 3 years but I did find them.
Ocassionly you can find hard to find parts on Ebay. Good luck on your 20 and hopefully you’ll find what you need.

I got to reading your post again and noticed you said needing ‘interior door pulls’. After thinking about and doing a general google search about T Coupe interiors from around 19-25 and noticed the ‘door pulls’ are actually on the bottom metal window door trim. In fact my 24 Coupe has a pull on the bottom window trim.
I haven’t ever thought about it but that’s the inside pull. Going by the interior pics of T Coupes that’s where it’s located.
The early black era Coupes had straps to raise the windows I think whereas the later black era Coupes used mechanical window risers and not straps. Not sure if that’s correct but maybe. Others might clarify that on the forum.

All 4 windows used straps. Up till the introduction of the metal sliding type, the windows were ether open or closed, there was no in between. The door pulls on the 20 would look like a towel bar, just a piece of round stock. My 21 had no pulls on the lower window garnish molding and the short door pull handle came about the same time as the latching window (late 22?). All my photos of the 21 body that was on Nelly-Bell the Raloo Rocket are on my other computer that I can't access thru here.
The last photo shows part of it;

This might be a center door, but the pull is the same as what was in my coupe;

I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I'm not as far along on my 20 coupe as you are, so my pulls aren't mounted to the doors. I will attempt to post a picture of them.
