This thread has been a great help, thanks guys.

I would guess the middle bar would work for a Jeep..... If you're gonna make them count me in for a couple!
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n' roll

I will try to get you an answer this weekend. I'm pretty sure it's the middle striker but I will have to confirm.
Thanks Ed....and Happy Easter to you and yours.

The one on my jeep is off a 1936 Chevy truck and works just fine. I'll have to take a look at it and see how my bar compares tot he ones in the photo.

The dimensions vary from part to part on like pieces. This should be close enough for identification purposes.

Strikers 1 and 2 both work fine in my door. Striker 3 is too short to latch. Striker 1 is the original one for the G503.
If someone wants to try to make a mold to make some reproductions, I will LOAN them an original one to use. Cost would be to make me a few. :lol:

Thanks Jon.

On the Parts Colours Page, the bottom picture of the striker that looks gold is actually one that I made out of brass. Here are a couple of side shots.

There are three different lock bolts the two longer ones will work the shorter one will not fit.
