Help with where interior door latch arm goes

[sketchers356]

Hello all,

I am reassembling my door cards after making new backings for the warped areas. However, when I took them apart quite a while ago I didnt quite catch how the interior door handle attaches to the door latching assembly. I have stared at the door for a while and havent come up with anything. I know that there is an arm that connects the interior door handle to the latching assembly but I dont know what it looks like or how to attach it. I have looked at the manuals that I have and they havent steered me in the correct way yet. I can find the latching assembly and the interior door handle but not the part that connects the two. Does anyone have some diagram that could be of help to me? I think the rest of the installation will go more smoothly.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks. Now to find where part 29 is. Is it hiding behind the door panel somewhere?

When I took the door panel apart it just kinda fell apart. I think that I need more understanding of how it works.

part 29 is inside the door. Parts 30 and 26 are connected to it. The other end of part 30 sticks through the hole in the door card and attaches to the little white bushing in the door handle. When you pull the door handle, it pulls part 30 which in turn rotates part 29, which pulls part 26 and releases the latch.

Thanks Dave. I hope that I can find part 29 tomorrow.
