Harold,
Yes there is a metal tube bonded to a rubber sleeve which is bonded to the =
mounting plate. And the latch is aligned to the door on the lock. Hopefully=
it was fitted before, as part of the restoration and that all you have to =
do is put it in place where it was fitted before.
However, if this was not the case, you first have to determine how many alu=
minum packing plates you will need for the striker assembly to be located w=
here it should. These packing plates go between the door shut panel and the=
aluminum trim, once you have determined that, then you can install your s=
triking assembly.
Looking at the pieces you have in the attached photo, I enlarged it for cla=
rity, I would say that the bottom one in the photo is suitable to use but t=
he other two I certainly would not use again, they appear worn and damaged =
and likely will not give you many years of service.
As far as the washers to use behind the acorn nut, I use one flat washer an=
d one star washer.
Jean

Subject: [Healeys] How Should the Door Striker Assembly Work?
In the box of parts I received with my car there were three door striker as=
semblies and it looks like there are enough decent parts to make two workin=
g door strikers. All three were assembled with different washers in a diffe=
rent arrangement. I have figured out the threads are 5/16" BSF as one of th=
e strikers had a 5/16" UNF nut. It looks like there is the a metal tube bon=
ded to a rubber sleeve which is also bonded to the mounting plate. I assume=
the idea is the threaded latch piece is held tight to the metal tube using=
some arrangement of washers and the acorn nut. The rubber sleeve would all=
ow the latch to rotate a bit in each direction. The latch can be aligned to=
the the lock on the door and tightened.
Is this how it should operate? Any suggestions on the type of washers and h=
ow they should be arranged?
I have attached a picture of the parts less the 5/16" UNF nut which is the =
only item I am sure is wrong.
Thanks .... Harold
