window winders handles

I know most of the speedsters on this site don't have side windows, but everyone seems have been around VWs for awhile. So hopefully, someone may know a solution.
The project I'm working on today is figuring out how to get my window winder handles to look more in line with the rest of the car. Right now I have what look to be Vanagon handles on my winders, I ordered the early VW winders and of course they are way different. No screw to hold them on, but instead use a pin in a groove, just like my early VW door handles.
I really don't want to replace the whole window mechanism, I'm not even sure of which type of VW regulator was used. Has anyone ever heard of an adaptor of late to early VW handles? Any idea if I was to break out my dremel an cut down the handles an put a grove on the regulator if the splines will line up?
Ideas?

If you can't find 58 roadsters regs and handles .
I used 1984 Suzuki sidekick regs The crank ratio is quicker but they are the very sturdy sissor type. that work like a GM.
I resplined them to the 1966 bug handles. They have done very well for the last 3 years

Barry,
You resplined them? How did you do that? It would work great if I could respline the handles or the regulator. Then I wouldn't have to worry about switching them out.

Thanks,
Scott

2 baby files and the all mighty drimmial. Ita slow tedious by hand process. but I got it right on the first atemp.
I bought New regs from a suzuki dealer plus the seal plates the glass sets in.

If you were doing the intire converson?

You have to make a insert plate in the forward door openings so you have somewhere to bolt the reg into place, and a second 2inch wide in the rear opening to bolt the lower sizzer frame to . You also have to come up with 4 peaces of vw window channels .

Alcapp glass in New York. have a web site And still have copys of my window in there pattern stock for my D But you would be wiser to make your own patterns sence no 2 cars are alike. But they do excelent bead work and can make temperd glass for you .

AND they are very resonabley priced. If you can get the Brent Johnson Porsche book It has pictures of the porsche regs and parts helping you futher see what you need to do

Good Luck

How about tap and install a allen set screw in the handle, set a dimple in the shaft for the set screw to rest in.

Thanks for the responses. I already have the windows in the car. My only problem is the handles are from a late model VW. I want the early model handles.

The idea with the set screw will probably work. I might try this weekend.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks
