The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs 1953 Chevy Suburban Door Mechanics

I appreciate your knowledge on the repro latches. I will seek NOS. My door strikers are a formed one piece and I notice a lot of repro have a riveted lower catch. Some claiming to be NOS also have a riveted lower catch. Is there one better than the other in regards to the striker? Which is preference, formed or riveted? Thank you
