Door alignment

Hey Guys,
I asked this question on the forum " technical help" site and got no response. I'll try one more time here.

Does anyone know the correct name of the female receiver portion of the door alignment mechanism on my 73 convertible? This part is mounted on the door jamb, above the striker mechanism. In addition, would anyone know where I can purchase a replacement? Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum. I'll try to look it up in my parts catalog when I get home.

My husband says its part of the latch.

Unfortunately the part is not pictured in the catalog so here are my best guesses. Striker bracket-3966687 LH, 3966688 RH, Lock Pin Housing 3977877, Door Lock Pin 3977876 RH, Door Lock Pin 3977975 LH.

Since Chevrolet sometimes changed P/Ns, these even if correct at the time are probably not today.

Try Paragon, Corvette Central, Zip Products, Wilcox, etc. Contemporary Corvettes is a large salvage yard that might have what you're looking for.
