Against my last post I choose another way.
I‘ ve ordered an original LandRover doorstrikerplate at the local dealer. This morning I‘ve got the call: you can collect it.
I put my MOGpart from the shelf and a short drive to the dealer. But as we say in Germany „long faces at both sides“…
1) the rubber at the top is about 3mm thicker than the original. Could be changed
2) the holes to fix it at the body where MUCH smaller. Could be changed.
3) the angle of the „mushroom“ is a little different to the original. Could be changed.
4) the Landy spare today was darkgray, in difference to the zincplated MOG and another Landypart I know about. Couldn‘t changed.
For about 70,— EUR I leave the dealer without the doorstrikerplate.
At the way home I remember the words here about to bend alloy. Bigger hammer and brute.
After the first try with an usual 500gr. hammer and an old chisel I switch over to some numbers bigger.
5KG „Fäustel“ and a punch. After two or three fearless hits the mushroom is fixed.
Repaired.
