<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=107241916-12092020>In the box of parts
I received with my car there were three door striker assemblies and it looks
like there are enough decent parts to make two working door strikers. All three
were assembled with different washers in a different arrangement. I have figured
out the threads are 5/16" BSF as one of the strikers had a 5/16" UNF nut. It
looks like there is the a metal tube bonded 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 allow the latch to rotate a bit in each direction.
The latch can be aligned to the the lock on the door and
tightened.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

should operate? Any suggestions on the type of washers and how they should
be arranged?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

wrong.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
