Rusted Door Post Lock Plate Repair
My 74' 914 has little rust, but the door strike plates (below the sail panels) are rusted through on both sides. The passenger side has the cup over the strike plate bolts/adjustment block), but the driver's side is rusted through.
With the wheels removed it appears that there is a large L shaped bracket that holds this cup in place. Repair looks to be difficult and parts are not available. Does anyone have:
- Ideas on how to fix this
- Any pictures
- Any recommendations
Thanks in advance
