Source for C1 door striker springs and components?

[Ian G.]

Does anyone have a source for the springs used on the C1 door strikers? I've checked numerous vendors and they all have the reproduction door strikers, but none seem to sell components, like the pins, plastic bumper or the spring. Does anyone know who actually manufactures the striker reproductions? (there are two: the 56-59 and 60-62)

If you search the salvage yards for 55, 56, 57 etc. Chevrolets; you may find some useable door striker components. Also look at the Chevrolet back four doors; as they may not have been used as much as the front two doors. There should be plenty of these components around and they are easy to take apart to switch out or clean up the components.

Thanks, the junk yards near me don't seem to have cars of that vintage, but I'll see what I can find.

You could try Fuelie Dave possibly; I've gotten some odd ball items from him over the years....you can Google him...
