Help finding replacement window handle crank for 1970 521

[Gabriel]

Does anybody know what window crank handle could fit a 1970 521 besides the original? My original one lost all its teeth. I've looked for the original one, but couldn't find it. I wonder if the one from a different vehicle could work. 

 

Thank you all.

 

Apologies if this has been talked about, I looked in the threads and couldn't find it.

Thank you so much Hainz. I'll check them out. But if you know of someone who sells metal ones that have that 70's look, please let me know.

I remember mine looking more like these in chrome.

 

Generally there is little to gain re inventing the wheel over and over. Hands are all similar size, door glass and regulators the same, so other than looks, the handle cranks will be close to the same design. Probably any Datsun hand crank will work. Get a pair and change both.

Thank you Mike. That's exactly what I have now. I found a post that says the 84 ford cranks fit Datsun. I found a couple in Amazon for $10. We'll see. I'll post the results.

Same with oil filters. There are two different seal types on the ends and the threads are all the same. (probably different today) Ford 4.9 inline six fit Datsuns. Larger and cheaper. I think 318 dodge and probably SBC too.

fit Datsun

fit 521 or 510 or both?

 

Might make sense.The 521 has a screw

s/body brake bots nutsand all threats on a 521 were SAE threads exept for the L16 was metric besides,the  oil sender)

Many years ago mine broke and I used 620 handles and drilled the center for the screw. Worked great.

Ahhhh good to know! Yes some, like old Dodges, had a screw most like my 710 have a clip.
