Boot catch and striker

[davemac250]

Mine were bent in my accident.

Anyone know what they came from?

Thanks.

Ford I guess, maybe escort mk2 era, so Capri, Fiesta, Sierra. Do they have Ford stamped on them? Maybe a part number?

I wish.

Striker is in a field in Suffolk.

The boot catch went in the bin when we stripped it down. They are available online - it's the striker I'm having problems with.

I'll try TVRGlen. Again.

I think its the second item you are after although the picture doesn't look right to me. But just checked as I'm in the car at work today and it does look right, just a picture taken at a poor angle.

Not the cheapest but unless you can source a second hand one will do the job.

Its a modified Ford Fiesta part personally I went with the TVR Parts one about 3 months ago its perfect and no more random boot closure issues where the pins/rivets are worn I had put up with it for years though

I didnt need the extended arm so went for this style http://www.racetechdirect.co.uk/u0615-tvr-car-part...

That pin/striker on racetrack is a very different design to what was in my car.

I had the old u-Bolt attached to the boot lid

I'll have a rummage in the workshop and see what is about. It's got to be a generic ford part.

My 92 precat has the one I sent you earlier but could have been changed I guess.

That's similar.

Although the mounts, from memory are diagonal.

I have to remember that my car seems to have a lot of unique bits.

Like a dash that is a different shape to every other one
