Anyone reproduce door handle bumper stop?

[themechanic]

The rubber stops on my 70 door handles is worn down causing the handle to rest below the lock surface. Does anyone like Detroit Muscle Technologies reproduce the rubber stops?

I have looked and have not found a source. I was thinking about the little rubber stops in the door frame of steel doors as a possibility.

Here's some photos of the parts.

The handle hole diameter is about .165-.169 inches. The old bumper is .375” diameter and .145” tall but has been squished over time and is now too short. The tail that goes into the hole is about .165”. In fact, I would say all my measurements are on the small side considering shrinkage and deformation over time. The hole in the handle is correct.

I ordered a complete Body Bumper Kit from Detroit Muscle Technologies (DMT) BBK7W and found this bumper in the kit will work for the door handles. It fits snug in the hole but is maybe .030" too tall. I will install them and order replacements for the kit. They will probably compress enough over time to align the top of the handle to the lock surface.
