Door striker plates for 36 coupe
 

Want to replace my door striker plates and so far what has come from Drake and Macs don't line up. The originals, on the left have a center spacing of 13/16 and the new parts are less than that. Any suggestions on who might have them? Thanks!

Looks very much like an original striker I removed from a 1932 Fordor sedan. Yeah, I know, I'm no draftsman.

I'm sure there was a previous thread on this where someone said vendors had it wrong and you needed one listed as 1934. Do a search on previous posts.

How about welding and then grinding the striking surface of the originals to where you want them?

"Coupe"


THE THREE WINDOW AND 5 WINDOW COUPE STRIKERS ARE DIFFERENT!


You have one of each. Specify what your car is.

Karl, This information was given to Tom back in July along with part numbers and images of the 2 types of strikers. Tom does not like to reply to answers on his postings, so there is no way to know whats what with his striker issue.

Sorry for the late reply, Tom has a day job and have had lots going on this week, first time to check on my question. Guess I will try to figure out on my own

Is there a reason you don't like the inputs you have been provided?

Always have had great help here, just up against a wall on this i guess. Nobody seems to have the correct strikers, have checked with Drake and macs they have them but the spacing is 3/4 not 13/16 like I have. My car is a 5 window coupe.

Tom, Drake shows the striker that you want in their catalogue. It carries part # 40-702340 and is mislabeled to fit 32 thru 34 closed car only. It will also fit 1935 5window coupes, fordor sedans as well as pickup truck and panel delivery.
