[Healeys] BJ8 Door Lock Plate R&R

[Michael Salter]

If Mike is using Moss terms then the plate that he is referring to is on
the door not the door post.
The plate with the sliding shoe which is held to the door post by two
countersunk Phillips screws is the striker.
The lock plate(s) [original part numbers AHB9532/3] are secured to the
door, together with the door lock (the thing with the rotating horseshoe
catch on it), by four 3/16 countersunk screws.
I believe that there are cage nuts welded into the rear frame of the door
but it is a long time since I had one of those apart so perhaps there is
someone out there who could confirm that for Mike.
*From memory* I believe Mike is correct to be a little cautious because if
the caged nuts turn in their cages they are somewhat difficult to access.
