There's a bolt-stud. The threaded end goes is inserted through the

That's tightened up nice and snug. The interior end of the bold-stud
has a "knob" at the end with a tapered section inboard. The interior
handle has set screws that engage the taper. The tighter you crank
the set screws the tighter the interior handle pulls into the door as
it rides down the taper.

RicodJour I think I get the picture, so the exterior end is threaded
and screwed on to this "bolt-stud" no problem. The other side is
mounted on and tightened with a set screw, the set screw bites on to
the knob shaped end and tightens up further.

So I had the wrong idea, I thought may be it's just a "rod" and set
screws on both sides.

What this means is that these handles requires this special bolt that
is designed for a specific door thickness. I cannot just buy two
handles and expect them to work without knowing what the bolt they
come with is designed for what door thickness...unless this bolt is a
generic item that may be found at any hardware store.
