How many do you need? I can probably find a few here, but you could

probablyfind some closer to home, or else make them out of carriage

bolts.

These are just a U-shaped channel, easy enough to manufacture. They

were painted.

I made these up for the coupe I restored recently. You can either

I can't help you with the striker mechanism, but there is an ad in each

W.T.N. advertising body parts for '29. they are the same part for '27,

'28 and '29, so you should be able to find something. Good Luck,

Geoff.
