Hi Mike,
All Herald & Vitesse convertibles have additional catches compared to the Saloons,
Coupes, Estates and Vans. They sit below the main door catches and take the form of a
tab which locates into a loop. The idea is that in a collision, they prevent the main
catches from disengaging as the body flexes, though they also serve to make the whole
door to shell more rigid. I'm fairly certain that they're not remanufactured, but I
think they may also have been fitted to some of the TR family. Anyone?
Cheers,
Bill.
