How to mount the door striker plates?
Hi, i have bought Morrison striker plates and made my own pin on the lathe to fit the locking mechanism. Now i am wondering how to utilize the springreturned wedge(no better word for it?) It doesn't seem to be able to use it for making the car "pop" the door as initially though it should be used...

Volker,
I'm afraid that on 1075 the door striker plate looks different than the regular, same as for the outside door handle.....
Depending on how accurate your modell needs to be some more research could be needed......
Give it some more time here - eventually more feedback is coming.....

Superformance is offering a "toolroom copy" of 1075:
There are some great pics here:

HOWEVER, there is some discussion around that the Superformance 1075 "clone" is not accurate enough....
Here is also a source of information and detailed pics:
Also here - no idea what's original and what not, also what's the difference between 1075 and 1076....

The chrome latch striker on P1076 appears to made by Silent Travel.
Silent Travel strikers are typical of the wedge style as used on MG TCs but these were fitted to a fabricated box by JWA.

This is a better shot of P1076.
The two "odd" Rover striker parts shown above are evidently not present. I say odd because they are not the usual standard ones on most original GT40s anyhow.
The photo below shows clearly enough that JWA had dispensed with the Rover claw latch, presumably to solve the historic problem with the doors opening or lifting at speed.
The "Silent Travel" latch mechanism has a spring loaded bolt which enters the hole in the tapered striker providing a more secure lock. The loop ended lanyard tied to the roll bar is also placed over the top lever in the window frame as a keeper to prevent to bolt reversing.
The fixing bracket is joggled to fit the inner profile of the striker.
I would assume that P1075 was furnished using the same fittings by JWA.
You can also see the Silent Travel / MG latch fitted on the inside of the door skin in the top left of this photo.
I might add this refinement to my own car however I would make the striker in steel as the OEM part appears to be cast.
