The originals on all the pre electric window cars were pretty poor really and the plastic splines always get damaged. After advice from another member I went for one of the aftermarket chrome handles, they are nicer looking and of course go better with the chrome door handles (inside and out), and they are nicer to use. I have searched my file but I cannot find out which supplier I used. I am pretty sure they were from ebay. The one I bought had alternative fittings one of which fitted the window winder spline. The only problem I had was that the small socket head grub screws didnt have a good enough location and came loose. Better screws and some use of a small drill sorted this. Pictures possible if they would help.
