If someone has the console lid striker plate handy would you mind terribly making some measurements for me?
I'm looking for these measurements:

Width
Length
Distance between mounting holes
width, height and shape of the hole the striker goes into.

Also what it is made of, steel or aluminum or what.

The plate mounts to the console lid with two screws and the striker clips into it. Moss doesn't have it and I'm not paying what VB wants for it.

Thanks in advance!

Scott,

Not sure what Moss is charging these days, there's a repair kit on ebay:

Maybe try posting on the trader.

If you're in no hurry, I could probably get you some measurement
sometime tomorrow.

Scott - not sure if you want the striker or the latch measurements. I have one of those Moss latch centering kits, so ther's no holes to measure in the latch, but there is for the striker.
Latch width at widest part 2",
Height 7/8".
Distance between the striker screw centers 1 1/2".
I've attached photos.

That'll do it. Thanks, George!
