I just received yesterday from Vintage Reproductions in Australia my window winders and escutcheons for my interior doors and windows. Previously I had ordered my door handles to open the doors. The quality is excellent and they're made in stainless steel that when buffed look just like nickel. Durable and good looking. Exchange rate is good now and note their prices on their web site are in Australian Dollars not U.S. I know they have the interior door handles and window winders,escutcheons and hub caps for my 1928 Durant Model 65, and exact match on what came off the car. He custom makes the hub caps and will put whatever thread size you want on them. If you looking for a good quality replacement check out their catalog on our web site, browse around and you might find what you need.

Re: Vintage Reproductions for Durant & Rugby parts.
I happened to see this rather old Forum comment by Mike. I looked at the Australia catalogue mentioned below: looking for door parts. Very expensive! I note that door parts in "Vet and Vintage parts catalogue", also known as Model A & T Parts, Auckland, NZ are much cheaper. The door parts appear to be very similar to those in the remains of my Durant doors, now mostly restored. Is there any reason why I should not use Model A door parts in my Durant?

Re: Vintage Reproductions for Durant & Rugby parts.
Model A & T parts are different. For the sake of being authentic and presenting the car for future generations to see as original as it was. Original parts can be had by advertising in the Durant Club magazine or on this forum. Someone will have some out there.

Re: Vintage Reproductions for Durant & Rugby parts.
I need the bottom rails for my 4 door sedan. When I bought the car it had no glass only the regulators for all 6 windows but no glass or bottom rails. I did find several people that have glass and will cut it to what ever dimensions I need. The problem I cannot find a set of patterns for the window glass or the rear window glass.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
