Inside Door Handle
So today I was replacing the outside drivers door handle on my 1969 CS. All was going well until I went to reinstall the inside door handle. It turns out that the two small studs (3/16) that you slide the inside door handle over and secure with the 2 small nuts are essentially stripped or threads worn flat from the handle being loose at some point. Anyone have any suggestions on a quick fix? I was wondering about wrapping the threads with aluminum foil to see if that would help the nuts grab or maybe using steel wool. ....... ideas??
