Hand crank

[Gemmer]

Want to make an engine hand crank for my 320 . Want it to fit in the brackets behind the seat. If you have one would you send me the measurements. Diameter of the bar, length of the shaft, length of the offset and length of the handle. Length and diameter of the cross pin.Thank you!

There were apparently 2 different length hand cranks for the 320 trucks.
The 65 trucks with the wind down spare tire carrier used a longer rank to turn the release mechanism.
Earlier trucks had a shorter crank to start the motor.
The owners manual pictures show the mounting for the shorter handle with one attaching point on the cab
wall and one on the floor. The longer crank handle will not fit there as the trans hump interferes.
We made copies of the longer crank and found we had to put it under the seat on the 62-64 trucks.
I will contact our Truck Brother who made the crank handles and see if he has the specs he used.

Thank you! My truck is a 64 so the shorter crank is correct. Look forward to your response.

I posted the hand crank specs and pictures on the Datsun 320 Owners Facebook page.
