Default Handle Restoration

Reading an old "Model A News" January/February 2007 I came across an article by Tim Johnstone, on Inside Door and Window Regulator Handle Restoration. The article was well written, however it referenced an article in the "Restorer" from November/December 1980 that would described how to make a new bushing for the handle with no further explanation. Does anyone have the November/December 1980 issue of the "Restorer"? I am primarily interested in the article by Jim Boehmke on making new bushings for the door and window handles.



Seems like a great winter project.
