These were available new a few years back - does anyone know if they are still being made please?

Door shut plate Ruby at Austin Repro - could this be the same thing?

That's the ones - thank you Ian!

I suspect that these may be the Mk1 Ruby door shut plates as they are the same price as the Box ones. I had a supplier for the Mk2 door shut plates until a few years ago when he stopped making them :-(
I'm trying to get the moulds so I can get some more of them made.

Can I ask how the Mk1s and Mk2s differ? Anyone got a photo of the Mk1 type?

This is the Box saloon type, but I'm not certain if this is the same as the Mk1 Ruby.

My mk 1 Ruby doesn't have anything like that.

As fitted to our Mk1 Pearl...

The ones I remember for sale on eBay (I think) were the heavier Mk2 style, hence my request.

What are the ones on Daffy like?

Having had a proper look at our Mk2, they look the same externally as the ones you have labelled Mk1 Ruairidh, but they are folded from sheet not cast.

Peter.

Curiouser and curiouser...

They are both from Pearls, Mk1 and 2....
