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.

Re: Door striker plates for 36 coupe
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.

Re: Door striker plates for 36 coupe
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. |

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

Re: Door striker plates for 36 coupe
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.

Re: Door striker plates for 36 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.
