So this sort of resembles stock. I've never been a VW guy so I have no history on this part crossing over to 914s. This part has two feet I guess were used for injection molding? Came with the additional countersunk machine screws that screwed through the top of the striker, down through a metal shim and then into the top flat area of the shim into embedded machined metal anchors. I see no metal anchors in the shims unless they are buried under the feet. Are the metal anchors under the feet? Am I supposed to cut them off? What is going on here?

Yiu probably have an early 1970-1972 with the striker platesxthat do not have thr inner shoulder which was added when they changed to doors with reinforcements.
Note what you bought is a 311 (VW) part number. Both the VW parts. I have some good used ones of the other type that use the screws to attach. if you need them. |
