Re: The trunk handle has a mind of its own

The 5/16 shaft came out of the 'pot metal' handle.
I have reviewed the Technical Bulletin with respect to the length of the smaller key lock shaft on some 22 series cars. That was not the issue.
I have yet to determine exactly what locks the square shaft into the handle. I do know there are two saw cuts in the shaft that appear to be intentional (produced during manufacture w/horizontal miller), and have something to do with 'locking' the handle to the shaft. There are also two 'crimp' marks in what I call the 'thimble'. The saw cuts and crimp marks could easily be aligned, but the shaft fell out so that evidence was not preserved.
Let me jump the gun and attach a file detailing a modification I plan on applying to the '48.
