I am restoring a 32 Ford Cabriolet and thought that the exterior door handles did not have a rubber or any pad for that matter between the handle and the door. I am asking if anyone knows if there is in fact a pad between the door and handle and if so is it rubber or the "paper" kind. thanks for yall's help. By the way, I have asked in an earlier discussion about getting my engine started and had great help from the club. I will follow up on that discussion when i can make a video and attach it to the reply as well

thanks
Don

Black waterproof paper pads were used originally.

Sir
One last question. I want to restore the parts accurately and was wondering if you suggest for the sake of weatherproof should I go back with rubber or if I use paper should I shoot some black sealant kind of stuff behind to help waterproof?

Dave is the man for all '32 inquiries as you know.
IF you go with paper, don't over think this... roofing paper is waterproof and widely available.
What say you David?

materguru, might I suggest purchasing the 1932 Book, from the V-8 Club. David happens to be the author and one of, if not the most, knowledgeable person on the 1932 Ford. Well worth the money.

thanks for the advise

In some cases, if you don't know the difference between rubber and paper, you can get yourself into a heap of trouble.
