What door strikers on my 67S?

[Bill Meyer]

I'm looking to rebuild or replace my door strikers, but it looks like I have the Later model strikers. All the parts pages I've seen though say the SWB 65-68 have the same striker, but I have the 69+ style. Has somebody put the wrong parts on my car at some point?

door strikers changed in 67..send a pictures of what you have........Cliff

Here's what I have, clearly not what the early SWB's have. That's original paint in the doorjambs, so I suspect these are original. The plastic inside is all broken up and the doors don't latch correct all the time, so I was trying to figure out my options.

I believe Sierra Madre sells a rebuild kit consisting of the white plastic bushings you need.

Mike, unless something has changed I think the rebuildable ones are only the 66 and earlier. They come apart, the 67 style and up are riveted. When you get the repro later style they will be yellow colored instead of the original silver. One of these days I may see if I can grind out the rivets, replate silver, then see how accurately I can reassemble,

Damn Ed, I'm not even going to check to see if you're right, although I wish you weren't.

It appears Ed is correct. I just ordered the gold plated style from Sierra. ..cool site by the way, thanks for turning me on to it Mike. Cheers, Bill
