Description
The Vintique Inc. Door Panel Escutcheon Spring (Part # A-48284) is a faithful reproduction hardware piece designed for classic Ford restorations. This conical spring installs directly behind the interior door upholstery panel, slipping over the handle or window regulator shaft. Its primary job is to push outward against the panel and trim escutcheon, creating the perfect amount of tension to prevent inside door handles and window crank risers from rattling, wobbling, or gapping away from the fabric.
Premium Spring Steel Construction
High-Tensile Spring Steel: Forged to original factory specifications using heavy-duty spring steel that retains its mechanical memory and tension over decades of use.
Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Features a protective finish to prevent rust and binding behind the door card where condensation can often accumulate.
Broad Ford Fitment Range
This versatile spring serves as an exact factory replacement across an extensive timeline of vintage Ford cars and trucks:
Ford Passenger Cars: Fits all models from 1928–1956 (including Model A, Deuce, Flathead, and early postwar overhead-valve eras).
Ford Pickups / Trucks: Fits all classic Ford truck models from 1932–1952 (covering the iconic commercial cabs up through the first-generation F-Series F-1/F-2 pickups).
