Brad,
Moss's part number is 803-790.
I have ordered these before and they are like the originals. Moss lists
them for an Austin Healey and sells them for 34.95 each. The Pritish
Parts Connection sells them for 29.50.
Regards,
Joe

Rocky,
I'm hoping you get a good answer as well. Years ago I bought some NOS
ones for my mk1 spit that I was restoring. Unfortunately finding NOS is
probably not possible now. Our need now is for the 1800 roadster that
we recently acquired. It seems to have those same striker plates. Let
me know if you hear of anything.
