window cranks

[professor229]

Hi.... I searched for window cranks but I do not know if that is the correct term, so I thought I would just post the question and see what happens. When I got the car, it was already stripped down and I found only one window crank and that one was not usable at all. I can walk into a store and buy window cranks for almost any car, but not a Datsun. Are they proprietary? or is there another window crank from another car company that is compatible with Datsun? PS... I won an Ebay auction for two used, sent the money and was stiffed by the seller. Ebay got my money back, but obviously I am back to square one, and if I can buy something that will work locally at a reasonable price, I would rather do that..... all help is appreciated. Thanks.

You should be able to find a pair of cranks somewhere in the USA, most of the Zs made were sold there. Bear in mind that they are 35-plus yrs old now, so unless you happen across some new-old-stock somewhere then you'll have to obtain used.

What year car? 240, 260, 280, 2-seater or 2+2?

youll find a lot of 'spline type' cranks will work, Holden Gemini's have a factory chrome type handle and are very easy to find cheaply.

I had R31 skyline cranks in mine because i broke mine and i had them lying around, but they are just plastic.

120y handle work as well and are cheap
