'39 Ford Convertible Rumble Seat Mechanism

[warren43]

Restoring a '39 Convertible and having great difficulty finding a picture, diagram or schematic of the rumble seat opening mechanism ideally showing how the handle connects to the latch. If there is something that shows the entire rumble seat, latch mechanism, placement of springs, counter weights etc. that would be a God send. Warren

There is a choke type cable from the handle up to the latch that runs up the right side. I have seen diagrams lately that may be have from people like Drake that supply the parts. G.M.

Thanks GM. Appreciate the response. I actually emailed Drake but didn't get any response. Do you happen to remember where you saw the diagrams.
