Rechromed D2 door handle question
Here's a few pics of my interior doors with the Ebay rechrome handles I just received. So here's a couple questions...
1. Were there any escutcheons? I don't have any so I installed them without and they don't touch the inner sheet metal so they don't scrape. I found some mystery felt washers that look like they could go between the handle and the door. Was that what they had?
2. I installed the mounting screws with both a split washer and flat washer. Is that original, or did they use screws only? I figured a split washer would keep them from loosening. I didn't paint them yet and I kind of like the look to compliment the chrome handles. Most of them are stainless so they won't turn rusty. I stepped up for stainless hardware everywhere I could on the assembly. I figured it only adds $30 - $40 to the project, but would be appreciated by the next guy who might have to take it apart in the future. No dealing with crusty bolts and screws!
3. What goes in the hole right under the window crank? I definitely don't have any part for that. Why is that there anyway? It looks like it gives you access to the nut on the window arm. What for?
Sorry for all the questions...this is my first resto project.
