I needed a couple new door strikers for my 69GS ragtop. Bought repro OPGI pieces. Guy working on the body says: a) They are not dimensionally identical to stock b) They came with torx screws not phillips. Anybody have a source for truly correct strikers? -- Steve
AME's used to have really nice allen type, bushed strikers. That's what I used on my 69 442, but that was almost 15 years ago. Since Steve sold the 'biz, some stuff is different now.
Ames has them. www.amesperf.com https://secure.amesperf.com/qilan/Detail_Web?part_num=F133&order_number_e=NDU5OTM2OA== &web_access=Y
I have seen about 5 different “new” strikes from various vendors. Some claimed to be NOS,and came in GM boxes,but were not the same. They were probably for a later car,but would work. That is where a lot of confusion starts.
A few washers of different thicknesses were used to make up differences in bodies. They weren’t exactly computer controlled manufacturing back then.
here is what I have .... real nice originals 2 pair of extras no sloppy bushings .. #4 has only the slightest rub mark its on top .. the other 3 are nice nice clean allen head holes ... 2 washers each ...more available washers if needed I was very carefull removing them .... Scott 206 465 9165
