dibarlaw 1,314 Posted June 10, 2018 Kyle: Yes that is the striker plate. Remember the door handle shaft goes through the door and has a spline to accept the inside handle. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle : I have gone thru the copies of the Master Book of Parts and have not found any thing that looks like the serrated piece and the long bolt. All the other items are familiar door hardware. I made new bumpers from softer rubber I got from Hugh. It works great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregon Desert model 45 192 Posted June 11, 2018 I have the same serrated plates. could these be from a closed car ? One of the striker plates for my touring was missing, so I had to fabricate a new one, see lower right in the photo. Kevin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glen Duxbury 0 Posted November 15, 2018 Been reading sligermachine forums wood topics. I have a 26 Buick Standard 4dr and like everyone else the wood is bad. You mentioned that you had paper patterns. I’m hoping the bottom body frame and cowl patterns would work for my sedan. Most of the rear body is intact and I can copy that. Do you think you could help or know anyone who could. Be happy to buy patterns it would sure make it easier. This was my dads car he bought in 63. My name is Herb.
