CUTLASS New door strikers?

Do it! Do people usually have foam or a screen behind these aftermarket vents to prevent junk from falling in/ hide the view? I haven't been able to inspect these on a car up close.
Waiting to hear back from my contact to see what they would charge me to engraved and chromed them. I will look at my stock ones today, but IMO I think they will need backed with something so you can't see straight into the door.

Back onto the strikers. I do wonder like you Sweet_Johnny about the strikers that don't have the spinning collar...how that will impact.

I don’t think having the roller collar on it is as big a deal as the material that one is made of:

Aluminum, especially in that application will wear extremely quickly. I have all stainless steel ones on The Juggernaut, and have had zero issues with wear in the 10+ years they’ve been on there.

I sourced mine locally a long time ago so I can’t be of much help there, but the application was for a first gen Camaro/Firebird and the thread pitch was exactly the same so you should have no issues either.

Copy that. I'll look for stainless.

melloelky what is this statement on anti-sieze for us uninformed peeps?
I'm an anti-seize fanatic and especially when it comes to dissimilar metals living together. A dab of it on the threads goes a long way. I've experienced galling a handful of times (I'm not trying to scare anyone) and it's a bad feeling.so which ever strikers you choose(any of those will look good on your ride) a dab will keep thing's playing well together and coming apart should the time arise.
 
These appear to be stainless striker post and washer. They show as 7/16" -14. Which I believe is the same as the Cutlass. Just doesn't specify striker post length.
Wonder if they will work? 🤷‍♂️
