Nickel Plated Trunk Handle Loop

 OBD-22NP..See Price and Buy

When attaching leather trunk handles. Handle should be laid flat against trunk and cap should be shoved snugly against each end. After attached, handle lays flat when not in use and will slide out to make room for your hand. This only works with the slotted handles. Unslotted handles should be attached allowing for room because they are fixed in position. These same rules apply to loops with pins...loops should be fitted pushing them from each side towards the middle so that the pins allow the handle to be while the handle remains flat against surface of trunk. It sounds complicated but really isn't. Most trunk hardware attaches with trunk nails which are bent over on the inside then covered with a wall paper material for beauty. Rivets are sometimes used also. The reason nails are bent over inside is to prevent handles and other hardware from simply being pulled off. In trying to remove old hardware, say it's a leather handle, you may find it necessary to go inside trunk and scrape off some of the paper to expose bent over nail which can be unbent and removed. This process may cause some nails to break so they would need replacement. These instructions generally apply to most trunks and trunk hardware. Handles with Mushroom Ends should use handle loops without a pin. It is preferable that the width and height measurement of the lopp be close in size to the narrow part of the handle. Handle loops with pins should only be used with handles that are the non-mushroom type.
