31 S/W Door pull handle
 

My 31 S/W don,t have handles on the inside to pull doors to close. the door handles used to open the doors have been used and are getting loose. any one know if they came with handles ,or have a suggestion on what i could use. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

No handles were installed, you could come up with some kind of pull handle or strap if you do not care about authenticity.

I have the same problem on my almost finished S/W. Pulling on the door handle to shut door breaks the handles. I am installing the afterrmarket door pulls (made for straight windshield Fordors) on my S/W doors, and Yes< I have to drill holes in my newly woodgrained Window Frames. Doing the same thing Don refers to above.

Didn't the '33 Fords have a door pull with a small, flat bracket attached? Maybe you could get a couple of those and instead of drilling the garnish, drill the top edge of door frame, attach the pull with two small screws, re-attach garnish. Would this work???

I did mine as Don and Ken said. Works fine. If I ever go back to original I'll just weld the holes closed.
