I found a pair of pretty sweet door strikers online, but decided that it would be cheaper and more fun to make them for free at work :beers:

however, i dont have the dimensions. i found what i thought could be it, but i'm not sure:

7/16-24 x 1" thread
7/8" x .475 diameter for the latching part
and then roughly a 1/2" head

i would measure mine, but it's in my parent's garage a couple hours away right now

here's the ones i found

Threads are 7/16 -14. Striker dia. is .500 x .750 long.socket head end is .750 dia. x .187-.190 long. Overall length is 2.125. You will need to make a 1.500 dia. washer x .125 thick and you will need to use the old cast shim (1.5 dia. ) to shim it to position,or make the .500 striker diameter 1.0 inch long. Here are the ones I made.

awesome! thanks a ton!

yours turned out great! any shots of them on ur car?

I'll try to get a few pics of them on the car and post them.

Wow Ken, nice job, and nice car. Did you start with a std 1/2" SS socket head cap screw, to avoid having to broach the hex hole? I think I could make them, other than that hex. Saw you're from Beverly, I bought my Chevelle in Beverly (more than 20 yrs ago). Thanks, Jim.

The parts were all made from 316 bar stock. I used a rotary broaching tool to create the hex.

Ken, did you punch the broach in or use a tool holder? Great looking parts, are you going to coat them too?

Peter the ones Ken made are 316 stainless steel....no need to coat them. Ken they look great by the way you really did a nice job......:thumbsup:
