Door Strikers
For the longest time every auction I've seen for door strikers on ebay for NOS strikers they have gone for ridculous amounts of money. The cheesy repro ones that don't have the roller go pretty cheap. Just lately, I saw these aftermarket ones with a metal collar and thought they might be more in line with the factory OEM ones. Anyone have any experience with them, or planning to buy from them?

Thanks for the great feedback, I appreciate your knowledge on this.
I did not even think about the 4 doors. Yes, you are 100% about the torx, but I was just posting this for anyone who was interested in newer replacement parts and who don't want to pay NOS prices. I have seen other repros that are really wrong, or have a (what looks like plastic) bushing on the collar.
Do you know what years are compatible? I realize that any BOPCK lines can be used, but don't know when the styling of the strikers changed.

I've seen these too, but they don't have the metal collar that mine do. Thanks for the input and pics. I think these ones are more for the 80's style cars??

Allen, are you needing a set or just commenting on what looks like a better quality of repop on the market? As you can see from my parts for sale ad, I've just about finished cutting up a 1971 4 door Cutlass and could come up with a set if you needed them. If not I'll be sure to pull them and they'll go into one of many coffee cans of fasteners! John

John (and others)
This is why I had originally posted about the door strikers.
Not an uncommon sight on ebay to see the $$ on this item http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...E:B:SS:CA:1123
