Suda Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have inherited a telescopic crank handle with my new PVC but it is not telescopic enough. Please could I have suggestions as to how I can fasten it to the only suitable space where it will not be constantly in the way. It would appear that a wooden panel at the rear of the van has sufficient vertical length and the door will close. Are there any types of brackets that it will clip into? If so where can I buy a couple from and are they self adhesive or do I have to get them screwed in. Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 ....search on Fiamma Winder Handle Clips. As an example (other suppliers are available): http://www.caravantech-shop.co.uk/products/fiamma-products/fiamma-spares/winder-handle-clip-large#.UyanzLlF3s0 http://www.caravantech-shop.co.uk/products/fiamma-products/fiamma-spares/winder-handle-clip-small Note: they come in two sizes. The small ones are what I've used in the past, but you would need to check for your handle. They screw fix. If you want to buy a generic solution, tool clips from a DIY store or tool shop will also work (but may be less neat if mounted in a visible area).

sshortcircuit Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 If it the alloy type handle with the folding crank, be careful how you use it as mine broke very easily. When I get home hopefully will weld permanent to strengthen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford60 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 hi, when i got my van the crank handle was bent, worn and useless. i removed the hooked end from a sealant gun. connecting it to my cordless drill made an excellent alternative. forward to wind out, reverse to retract. also, i have the drill with me for any maintenance issues.

gocro Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 1/2" pipe brackets from DIY stores, the plastic type can be cut down slightly to hold the winder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
