The Drivers door striker bushing just broke on my 86 MGM but half of it is still there. I'll probably replace it tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I'll post the dimensions when I take it off.Comment

They are .510 ID, .675 OD , and .885 long the closest fractional dimensions are 1/2" ID 11/16 OD and 7/8 long. Made a new one, but haven't had a chance to put it on because of the rainComment

they sell them in the HELP section at most parts stores... if they don't fit (length is usually the issue) you'll have to replace it with the replacement strikers. I had to do this on my Mark.

Will the nut fall down into the door when you loosen it up?Comment

only if the inside is rusted to peaces... there should be some tabs welded to the panel inside to catch the nut and hold it in place.

Put on the new bushing today. Had to hacksaw the old big washer off the stud, then drill out a new one with a "U" drill bit and tap it 7/16-14. A little more than the 5 minute job I thought it was going to be, but not bad. Used a big rare earth magnet to hold the backing plate in place. I don't know if it would have fallen down without it.Comment

The backing plate should not fall. There are tabs in place that prevent it from doing so.~David~

I think the upper pin on the wagons is a lot smaller than the door strikers. Not sure if there is something that fits these properly or not. Best solution may end up being finding the original OD, buying solid rod in that size, and boring it out to fit the pin properly.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
