I am not quite sure what the name is, but I am missing the passenger side one. Has anyone got one which is surplus?

Harrydog was quite scandalised when the door flew open yesterday! Harness and lead stopped him bundling too far out the door....

Thanks

Roly

Yes I am. 
Trouble is, it’s a long way to go to the spares day to find they haven’t got one!

They look very similar to the ones fitted to chummy bodies if you don't find the correct one.

There are at least two types of hood mountings for Opals:

   

   

They are unique to the two seaters, so far as I am aware.

Am I missing something here? Is this little piece of plated brass meant to align the door nicely when it shuts or does it really support the rear of the body when it flexes? I have the battered remains of these things on my ORT and they don't align, but my doors don't open when I'm driving (although when I first had it MOTd the examiner placed his jacking beam at the rear cross member and she opened up like a tulip in bright sunlight!)...

Is the problem more structural, or is this normal?
