Very impressive, must be jewlers in your ancestry. Excellent work up. I will have to purchase another DHC for replacement. Mine simply doesn't engage and release the door latch to open. Just coincidence I guess. Thanks for all your amazing information. One last request. When reassembling is it OK to connect inner door handle release n door knob lock stem to the ACT before bolting it up? Is possible to connect the DHC cable bulb to the ACT before bolting up the ACT to the door? I recall getting the DHC bulb onto the latch release was a frustrating bear, even with extra long, bent nose pliers. Thanks again.
