                I think the number per shaft is variable.  You have to =
take up the space so the spring is not showing.

I have 2 donuts + steel washers on the door latch handle and 1 donut on =
my window crank.

In my case it could be that I have a mixture of door parts creating =
this.

Hello Dr. Fraser,

But regardless, those are the little devils; 2 per door, one on each =

Thanks to everyone for all of this information.  I put my doors back =
together about a week ago and realized from this discussion that I left =
out the donuts. I found my old ones but I don't have enough for all of =
the handles and the ones I do have are rough.  I don't see them in the =
SS catalog so I may attempt to make some from some masonite or =
something. =20

=20

Can somebody verify what the total thickness of one of the full donuts =
is?  One of mine that still looks good measures .33", but it might have =
swollen up over the years.=20

Thanks,

Gentlemen,

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

=20

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=20
- 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!
