Rattling door handles

[Mr Spigot]

I have a 1960 2 door and a 1952 convertible, and all four door handles rattle like mad as there is quite a lot of play on the handle pivot. I seem to recall that there was a way to replace the pivot pin to cure this, but having checked through old 'Technical Tips' and done a search here, have drawn a blank. Replacement may be the only option as all the handles have the Mazak 'acne'. I would welcome any suggestions.

My 2 door is 1969 so later than yours, but I think the door fittings may be the same.
I found when rebuilding my car that the springs inside the interior handle mechanism were broken allowing the handle to rattle around loosely.
I found this company in Austria that makes a replacement version which stopped them rattling in my car. They were friendly and helpfully for me spoke English too!

Thanks for that which is a useful link. I think those springs are for the interior handles whereas my problem is with the exterior ones which move up and down and rattle.

I don't know if 2 door is different to 4 door, but my handle rattle was due to broken spring pin, see post

Many thanks. That may be a simple fix. I will not know for certain until I take the handle out.
