The pin has a triangular shape, but it can be repaired using a steel rod of about ⅜” (9 to 10 mm) in diameter welded to the (remains of) the original pin.

    I have a 1960 Turner 950 Mark 1. The previous owner had cut off the stems on the door striker plates. Would you have dimensions and a picture or drawing of the actual door striker plate stems onto which the door latches engage? Thank you for your help.
