1931 Victoria Questions

I need to know if slant window sedan door latches will fit a Victoria if I lengthen the actuator rod. Also will the regulator out of a sedan will fit a Victoria. Thanks

the window regulators will fit just fine
the door mechanism looks a little different
compare the two pictures
try fitting it in your door first

Those pictures really helped, looks like the same latch, just with a longer connecting arm. Next I need to find drawings of the wood parts. I have all the wood working equipment a person could need and more, and don't want to pay the huge cost of catalog bought kit. Thanks

RustyRanch If you have not yet done so, join the Victoria association. Get all the back issues of the news letter. PM also sent.

the slant window door latches themselves will work in the Victoria the rods can be lengthened and the remote will work. but if you want to lock the right front door with the outside door handle. that latch is made so you can not remove the handle if it is locked. all the other doors are lock the inside with the remote so you can remove the outside handles anytime.

This fella has a partial wood kit - may be a good value?
Mine is still dissasembled if you need any pictures or measurements.

You can also use 32 Ford latches. Although they are hard to find.
