Ok so my Series 3 had Defender doors when I bought it and I have reverted to Series 3 doors. I see that the strikers are completely different. Do I just need the new striker plates or will I need anything else? Also are they normally shimmed or just bolt straight on?
Thanks.

Oh and I found out that there shimmed but the shims are £18 each so will be making my own. lol.
The new strikers are only £3 each.

Definitely make your own, although one side on mine is bolted straight on, so you may find you don't need any.

Depends if they are antiburst or not.
 
As has been said you may or not need shims you just have to fettle it till it is right and the door shuts ok. The new (or rather old style) strikers may also need to have the holes redrilled in the body to fit them, at least I had that problem when I did mine.
 
I had the same reaction when I found the shims were £18, made my own in a few minuits, but the cast striker is really good value, makes no sense.
