I have a 1940 Deluxe Station Wagon (woodie). The driver side rear, outside door handle spring broke. It has proven to be a part that is used only on this model and year only. Although it may also be compatible with 1939 wagons and '39 and '40 convertibles.
From what I have determined there are no reproductions manufactured. I had my hopes pinned on a collector that thought he had one but we struck out. in fact he just had a spring fail on his 1939 convertible and is faced with the same dilemma.
Does any one know of where to find a used or NOS spring or ideas about another version that may work?
