Part identification

[Mr Tenno]

Any idea what you call this part on the back of the door jamb? Or where I could source one? It's the bit that the door latch bolts into.

Door latch retaining panel?

What's up with the one you have on the car? Threads gone or rust? Captive nuts usually ...

Rear quarter panel will come with it attached but I guess you don't want to buy the complete rear quarty just for that section. It may be tricky to fabricate too as the nuts all need to move around. I feal you may have to get something made up or take it off a scraped car.

The previous owner decided to cut it off

You're probably best of searching on craigslist/ US ebay - amazing what some people list ... OR seing what Saccyclone (on here) has in his vast array of parts - he's always seeing all manner of Z's in the States - he may have something ... not the most common of parts though ...

You could easily fab a plate with 'held' captive nuts and weld it in I am sure.

Edit: not 'easily' but you get my drift. It won't be seen once the latch is on I don't think ...

I can check to see if we have a parts car to remove that from, let me check.

Thanks Sac - it's the US driver's side one I'm after.
