Door handle bolt

Post by Super1275 »

Can anybody tell me what length bolt I need for the door handle?
I have a bolt missing from one handle, the handle still works but is a bit loose. I’d like to replace it In order to tighten the handle without taking off the door lock if possible hence the question.
I know it’s a 3/16 UNF - it’s the length I need. Thanks

I think they are about 3/4 but there is also a little spacer tube, early handles don’t have screws though. My 62 just has studs that locate in door

Thanks. From your reply I assume you’re talking about the string pull handle - I should have made it clear it’s the chrome handle as per Cooper/Super I’m referring to.

Are you referring to the self tapper in end of square shaft or the bolts holding Handle to door, or the screw on the interior handle, I was quoting the one holding outer handle to the door skin,
