Away till sometime first week October. Sorry no idea about the screws without being at my 403. Similarly the window handles - I remember they have a kind of sprung pin in them which if not seized up should lock the handle on the shaft. Once fitted, I seem to remember one had to insert a small diameter pin in the hole to depress the spring to remove the handle. I have not yet refitted mine so can't be sure of detail till I get back.

Hello Peter.
Would it be too obvious to suggest that the four 1 1/2" screws are for the door pulls? If so, do you have these? I have just replaced mine so can help with parts to make new door pulls.

I think one of my regulator squares lost the spring and peg. If memory serves I used a short length of 1/8" welding rod to hold the handle on. It needs to be exactly the length of the outer diameter on the handle so that the sprung finisher holds it in place.

No, I took them out from inside the door frames. I couldn't work out what they did at the time, which is why I forgot to put them back! Although I am missing a couple of the door pull screws too.

Thank you for the suggestion on welding rod. I'll follow that up

On the" better late than never" basis, I've just finished rebuilding the first of the two doors. The 1 1/2" screws hold the inside wooden piece down into the door frame.
