[Healeys] BJ8 Door Lock Plate R&R

[Bob Spidell]

Mike, 

If you're referring to the large, Posidrive screws they are retained by a captive, tapped nut plate behind the shut pillar. It won't fall out, but slides around a little.

The door lock plate (Moss terms) on my BJ8 needs work: the round pin is worn 
and loose on its mount. I can buy a replacement lock plate; my question has 
to do with the anatomy of the fasteners inside what I think is called the 
"shut pillar". Before I remove the screws that hold the lock plate on, I 
want to be sure that they don't fall into some deep crevice. 
Advice welcome.. 
Thanks, Mike
