[Healeys] door striker alert-not BJ7 & BJ8

[Dan Stromquist]

Mark:
Is that door striker the internal parts that fit inside the door itself or
are you referring to just the stud piece that fits on the body?  I was told
the pieces that fit inside the door are not available but can be repaired by
spot welding the C piece latch to its shaft that goes into the door assembly
(thanks Ed Townley).  My hope was spot welding might solve the problematic
door latching issues these cars seem to have.  Did replacing the part make
your door close normally without slamming?  I have a BJ8.

      We have experienced many new door striker assemblies
        coming apart. I don't know if this applies to all door assemblies
        manufactured but the ones we have purchased from A. H. Spares  part
        # DRF 120 have fallen apart. This could result in serious injuries
and
I
        felt compelled to notify Healey members. We  have experienced this
        problem on purchases over the past 12 months. We strongly suggest
you
        examine your striker assemblies carefully.
We have notified A.H
        Spares of the problem but unfortunately this issue has not been
        corrected on our most recent purchase from them.
We think door
        staying  closed is a pretty important thing while driving down the
        road.


        Happy
        Healeying,
