Elan S3 door strikers needed

The attachment S3 door lock receiver_striker.jpg is no longer available


Hello all,

I am trying to obtain some Elan S3 door strikers. (see image)

Does anyone have any for sale?

Or how I may get some?

One other possibility is that I borrow one and then 3-D scan it to fabricate my own. I will return it when finished and cover the postage costs.

I'm pretty sure they are Austin 1100 items, so go hunting for those. There's one on ebay but it doesn't have the sprung sliding bit, and you can see the door latches in another item for sale that look familiar.

Thanks Mark,
Yes I have seen these very similar ones on ebay.
Obviously I would need to compare a real Lotus S3 variant side-by-side with the ebay look-alike to be sure. I could be throwing money away. I'll hang on a few days to see if anything better turns up.
