Door safety catch

[ManyMinors]

That looks like the narrower 4door striker.

Bill reports that the catch with 40mm mount spacing that I sent him works with the front door (ie B post) of his 4 door.
To close off this query, can other members (with a micrometer!) report whether their car (MM, 2 or 1000, 2 or 4 door) features this 40mm spacing, or 1.5".
2mm doesn't sound much, but it means they are not interchangeable!

Well the mystery continues, when I remove my striker and measured accurately , rather than in situ, as Mike says the hole centres are as he measured 38.5. So either it's for another car or just incorrectly made.

As another posted looks like its supposed be for 2 door the 2 door type as wider and different profile. Amazing making them different.

So the one Mike sent doesn't fit on 4 door. I think we have concluded incorrectly made part with wrong hole centres. With my 4 door front removed and measured properly its 38.5 same as two door. But the profile and width is different 2 or 4 door

As someone suggested extra width for heavier door of 2 door. But why the different slope profile?
Any theories?
Anyone succesfully fitted 2 door version to 4 door?

Confirmed today 2 door striker will not fit 4 door. The extra width above the screw centre line means it fouls on the door lock door.

Bit the bullet and purchased pair nos Wilmot Breedon correct 4 door catches. Hopefully better quality than the repros and for similar price. So will have working safety catches again.
