another wild goose hunt for a little plastic bit

[DeWitt Harrison]

If one is forced to muck about with the 5000CS door handles
- I guess we don't need to go into the reason(s) - it is sometimes
necessary to disconnect the two operating rods from the ball
ended levers of the handle. It seems inevitable that the tiny plastic
keeper caps that release the plastic ball socket ends of the
rods break off.

As far as I can tell from the family album drawings, the only way
to get a new little plastic rod end is to order the entire operating rod.
Cost aside, I've even ordered _new_ operating rods and had
their keepers break off. Grrr.

Does anyone know a part number for the little plastic rod ends
themselves. I'd like to buy a box of them.

I would be eternally grateful.
