The winder arms and attachments on some Vixen and M Series to come straight from the Triumph parts bin. A pin is pressed into the shaft to retain the part. A collar is fitted to prevent people from seeing the nasty details of car assembly. My car was fitted with a two piece spring loaded collar which made it almost impossible to remove without a grinder. Sometimes you need to grind off half of the arm so you can reach the pin. Ask how I know. Throw the pins and two piece collar away and use the plasitic washer style ones (I think I got them from the Roadster Factory). They are part # 621221. Triumph called them an "escutcheon, black plastic". BTW, the winder arm is part #621811.
Then get the removable "K" pins from a lawn mower store. The washers (escutcheons) prevent the pins from scratching up the upholstery inside the door. See attached pictures.

Hayden Olenik reports that some Vixen and M-series cars use winder arms from pre-1968 MGBs. These are held on with a screw.
