I'm in the process of fiddling with these bear claw latches atm, I appreciate your clip it has clarified what I was planning. Thankyou very much for the quality upload!
Its too bad this only works if you don't have any glass in your doors. I have a 36 Pontiac with glass and I am trying to figure out how to the handle to work.
The same principle should work with glass. You might have to shorten the action up a bit or bend the arm into an arc or use a cable run thru a piece a tubing out of the way of the glass.
@@QuickSpeedShop But that's what I need to know! :D But seriously. I'm putting model A handles on a boat hatch and I'm having to be creative to get it to work. I think I've got it figured out after watching your video. Watching the linkage is what gave me the idea.
@@rushwal Oh sorry! What I did was drilled a round hole and used a tiny triangular file to file the corners of the hole square. Took a little bit, worked good.
I want a model A truck real bad.... Cool stuff.
Yep! Bam is the word!
Looking good!! Always nice to have a door handle - Makes me hungry for 'bear claw danish'..

Cool truck !
What company did you pickup the bear claw latches for the model A
I don't remember, I bought them 15 years ago. I think they were the generic ones you can buy at a hot rod show or from Speedway.
Did you make those braces for inside the doors? I'm working on an Essex and have been thinking of doing something like that.
Yes. I actually made the entire door from scratch with an aftermarket door skin.

You didn't show drilling the square hole!
Can't show all my secrets!
