54 Mahattan 4 Door Handle Escutcheon and other parts needed
« on: September 03, 2015, 08:01:14 AM »
I need to purchase a Door handle escutcheon (I am guessing at the name) it goes between the door handle and outer door skin, and any related gaskets and screws, someone " borrowed " the one off my car, thanks, I can provide a picture if needed. Beside this item I also am missing the hood and trunk lid name plates (say Kaiser I think) , none of these parts need to be NOS but presentable and useable, If I replace the escutcheon with a NOS then I would have to do all 4. Also a owners manual in good condition (or better) would be great.

I found and ordered a  Door handle escutcheon from e bay and that is taken off my list for now but I discovered another part needed. I need the Trunk Lid hold down bracket (that screws to the trunk floor) the one I have is super worn, cracked and bent. The trunk will lock down but must be released from inside, all else (the lock) seems to work so I have reduced the problem to this bracket.
