bodumatau Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I have these on my soft top and wanted to replace them with new ones but can't seem to find the right parts. they are quite ingenious as they don't have the classic "claw" which then tries its best to eat away at the striker post but rather a plate that slides up behind the striker post and so has a larger surface area and doesn't wear away so quickly. the striker post knocks this little tab back (end of screwdriver) which then allows this plate to slide up behind the striker post (under the screwdriver) and finally the striker post is caught behind the plate like the screwdriver anyone have a part number for me?

mat2495 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 That is the same as on my early 110 with split doors, part number for the strikers are MRC8444 and MRC8445 for left and right hand side respectively. are you replacing the complete handle assembly or just the striker posts? Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 look like the antiburst type latches off military 1980's vintage, l/h muc1031 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 They look like the military version as they don't have the connections for the interior handle (early 110) they have just a lift up handle instead. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodumatau Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 anyone have the RH latch part number for me? tried the numbers close to the above part number but don't think it was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Tried a similar experiment and had similar results. Might be worth your while to ring somebody like P.A. Blanchards or Dunsfold Land Rover. They will be able to help you out. Beware, Blanchards can be a bit grumpy on the phone sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
