Do not remember whom but there was a member lookimg for a seat recline release lever for a splined setup.

I removed one tonight and have it here...dark out will take pics tomorrow.

Mine is splined to and think its a match for yours.

Pay postage its yers.

That's me. I'll check out your pic tomorrow. If you could get one of the inside of the socket on the lever, that would help :D

Looks like it's keyed like the T-Bird levers I bought :(

Notice mine doesn't have a boss in the splines to locate the lever any specific direction.

You must be registered for see images attach


Think my best bet is to mod the T-Bird levers I pickled up with the die grinder. I very much appreciate it though!

I couldn't get an angle that would show the whole thing like I wanted, but it's the same all the way around. First thing I did was try a window crank handle. It's splined the same, but turns out it's a little bigger than the window crank :dunno

@crash-harris

Take a look at a custom van supplier. We had a custom van in the 80's that had that type of recliner lever. I would point you in the direction of a couple of custom van shops that were around where I grew up..... but they closed in the 90's.....

Look in the Elkhart, Indiana area, most Custom Vans, RV's and Mobile Homes in the US are made in Elkhart.........

I have also found a supplier online, but they lack descriptive details. I may call them and ask about the part number that I found that may be it. Although since the T-Bird levers were cheap and a matched set with hardware, I'll probably take the die grinder to them first as an experiment. If they work than I'll close the book on it and use them.
