I bead blasted the 70 striker today and it's got wear from the catch.
Overall, I don't think it looks good, and I would replace it, so I'm sure you would see it that way too.
It's nowhere near the condition of the ones in Jack's pics.
That's what you should have.
When you find a 70, I'd like to buy your 69 version though.
I can mail you the paper and pencil rubbings of the egg shaped cutouts if you like.
An original backing strip is a tough one.
Who would part one off a good hood, so that leaves bent or rusted hoods, and what happens to the hood happens to the strip.
I think fishfarts was $18, with the proper number and size and spacing of holes, and the same folded edge.
