Removed door catch striker plates noting two spacers plates one side and a single one plus washers the other The mushroom shaped locking pins had started rotating both sides as their rivetting proves inadequate over time. Could have bought relatively inexpensive new ones but concerned this would only happen again. Popped over to my local classic car guy now in retirement but still working on his multitude of old Citroens. He did a great job of seriously welding the pins in place after I explained the flat on them must be horizontal and face upwards.



Refitting relatively easy once lower side panel screws removed. The ¼" UNF mounting bolts are not to captive nuts but rely on a single thick plate with two threaded holes instead of individual nuts to loose inside panels. Spent some time adjusting catches mainly for height which paid off with improved locking action.
