WTB Door handle rubber bumpers

[gran coupe john]

Inside the door handle is rubber stoppers. They are dry rotted. Been looking for them for awhile now. They don't come in the rubber sets. If anyone has 2, or know where to get them?

They're not sold individually anymore. However , the repopped handles come with bumpers.

I just used some that fit the hole and shaved them down until the handles were just about flush with the rest of the handle assembly.

Thanks. Was going to have them replated, but the cost is astronomical. So will probably buy repops, but really don't want to.

I may have some in the warehouse at work. Will check asap.

If I remember correctly, those rubber bumpers are more of a mound shape like a scoop of ice cream on top of a cone, not flat. I think some of the repro ones have a flat rubber piece in there for a stop. The 1st photo shows a Mopar handle I bought in early 90s. 2nd photo shows a repro handle I bought years ago to compare and has a flat rubber piece glued on. 3rd photo shows an original door handle rubber stop on the left and a repro piece type I found on the right a few years ago.

The first pic, is probably original, that one looks like the 2 old ones I took off the car.

That cone rubber does not work on those old stock.

You are correct in that the cone one does not work. It has to be the rounded one and I have not come up with a place to get them.

Maybe glovebox or ashtray bumpers will work.

did you look at Grainger or McMaster-Carr? You can research the size based various details and get close. You may need to buy a bag of 20...but still cheap

Thanks, I will take a look.

The ones I have are so brittle, they would crumble if touched.
I like the bumper option, may need to modify it a bit.
