[Tigers] Door project; what I learned

[jimdamelio]

Attached are two pictures of a NOS door handle buffer 9122188.  Hard to tell the dimensions, but I'd say it's 5/16.  It's not real hard rubber.  You can squeeze the shut.Jim DSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Gentlemen,
First off, you are terrific and we are better together. Always.

What I learned:
- both the window crank shaft and the door opening shaft each use two (2) felt donuts or four half donuts(4)           per  door to set up proper door panel position and rigidity
- Rick has these in stock if you need them
- the door handle and the window crank have very small rubber anti-rattle tubes in the actuator insertion cavity.  Dr. Ron Fraser gave the dimensions, tentatively as; Dimensions - .35? x .384?        .293? thick - the chrome collar should slide easily into the black plastic collar with or without spring. If not, make it so.
- The original fixing pins were tapered so that they could be inserted with a positive stop. Almost no-one has             these today and new ones have been fabricated from nails. Extra assembly effort required but OK
- remember to check for anti-rattle padding behind the door flat actuating plate that goes from the handle area       to the latch and travels right over the big window mechanism opening in the door
    You'll see traces of old glue where it was. You can use any kind of dampener. Prevents a major rattle on             door closer/slam
Thanks to all that contributed and lent a hand!
