needpart


As stated, I am looking for a Nice, or NOS FC Side Door Handle Escutcheon (Base).

Looking at a thread from April 17, 2018 titled "Greenbrier Door Handle Removal"
Posted by: persh, [corvaircenter.com]

I found the attached illustration that shows the part I am in search of. It is item number 3. It might be Part # 3776251 but I am not positive. (Group 16.350)
Worst case scenario, I will get the one on the van re-chromed or might even opt to paint it but would rather find another one in better shape.

Thanks

Sorry to say but you have violated both of the rules of "needpart" by being so clear in what part you need.

The Rules of "needpart" are;

1) Be vague in the description of what you are looking for so the Forum has a chance to help you figure out what part you need.
This back and forth should take a few days.

2) Wait until After you get the part identified by the Forum, after which, wait until a weekend has passed to give time for the Forum members who may Have the part, to look for it and get back onto a computer.

The Reason behind Rule #1 is so enough time passes so that a weekend Does go by.

Thank you for your participation in "needpart"

Just the kind of assistance I was looking for from a trusted source.

Actually I don't NEED A Part, I would simplylike to have a better example of what I already have.

If you had provided me all the NOS replacement parts I could dsire when I bought the Van from you, I wouldn't be looking now......would I?

Pity, written word is sometimes hard to decipher.

Was that dripping sarcasm?
Or angry bitterness?

A bit of sarcasm, I have known Goop for a little over 50 years.
We attended the 2018 Convention together and I currently own three vehicles purchased from him including both of my Corvair's

I do know how sometimes it is difficult to determine the tone of the written word but I am a smart aleck, always have been, probably always will be.

I would not know ANYTHING about that I NEVER engage in Hyperbole, or Sarcasm.

The above Escutcheon will go nicely with the NOS Side Door Handle I bought a while back.
In the mean time I was able to acquire an NOS Boomerang which arrived this week.
I'm not done with the '65 yet and here I am stock piling parts for the Van already.

You are most impressive in your endeavors. It shows "persistence pays off". And to think when I first read your post
I was already defeated.

Bump,

Remember way back in August of 2018 when I posted I was looking for an Escutcheon trim for my Van side door handle?

Eventually in November 2018, I was fortunate enough to actually find a NOS piece with the box.

I never figured I would ever see another one until this afternoon.

Yes, I bought it even though I don't need it.

Actually the photo is from the listing where I saw it.
With that said, I expect I'll be taking it out of the box when it arrives to inspect it. Maybe I should wear gloves?

Well folks, I bought a third one of these today if anyone has a need for one, let me know.

The first one I saw, I paid dearly for because I never expected to see another NOS one.

The second one I saw, I got for a better price and bought it Just because it was available.

During the time I purchased the first two, I managed to source one NOS handle that was advertised as a non GM piece. The second one was an excellent used piece.
Since I currently have two FC Vans and NOS handles for the front and rear doors, I now have more than enough.

The third Escutcheon trim I purchased was at a much better price than I ever expected to get on such an NOS part even if it does not have the box.

Caraholic4life, since you seem to be on a roll at finding these, see if you can find me the same escutcheon for the DRIVERS side on an 8 door van and I'll buy it from you! I've searched for a NOS one off-and-on for many years with no luck.

I have been keeping an eye out for those too.
Now that I know someone here is also looking for one, I will try to remember to let you know if I run across one.
