Window Crank Handle
One of my window crank handles has the splines stripped out inside the handle.
Is there a way to repair it? The LH and RH cranks match but are not original to 1956. Do I simply have to buy two new crank handles or is there a work around to make the stripped out splines grab onto the window regulator shaft?

On further investigation the inside handles and cranks are from 1965 Galaxy. I plan to order a inside handle/crank kit from MidFifty. I thought about drilling and tapping a set screw into the handle, but the style and taper do not allow that option.

Here's what the original 1953/56 handles look like, they are retained by the 357550-S 'gesus' clip.
When you remove the clip, it can fly off. "Oh gesus...there it goes!"

Thanks Bill, I ordered an inside handle kit from Midfifty that includes door handles,, window cranks and trim rings. Took me a while to figure out what C5AB that was on the old window crank came from.
