[FC] Newly Registered participant but not new to Corvair's, Side Door Handles

[Ken Hand]

Hmmmm, interesting, I never knew that. But throughout the years with my FC experiences I always found the down facing handle to work the best, even though not factory stock.

 Ken Hand, as a side note to your side note, the proper "stock" 
orientation of the rear side door inside handle is pointing straight 
up.  Originally, the '64 deluxe Greenbriers had a sticker on the side 
edge of the door, visible only when the intermediate door was open, that 
read, "PUSH."  By pushing on the handle from outside, the door would open.

> Hi Andria, Thanks for the pictures. Corvanatics does not have it's own "forum" other than the email list that you sent to and that is not very active. We do have the FB page as far as social media goes and the web site of course.As a side note on your side door rear inside handle I find it more convenient to have the handle pointing down so you can open the door easily from the outside. The window handle can then match when the window is fully rolled up. The front door can also match the rear door as you never open that door from the outside and the person sitting in the seat will want to pull on the handle anyway as a natural action to open the door from the inside.I also noticed the stance of the van and the front is not nose high! So it either has cut springs or my lowering springs. if you can go over a whoopie bump at about 15-20 mph and not hit your head on the ceiling it probably has my springs.
