Aftermarket door wedges

Curious if anyone has tried these: https://www.ss396.com/chevelle/KDW-68A.html

The brass wedges and spacer appear correct. Not sure about the striker plate.

If heard the wedges and the shims are correct but the stainless steel striker is not. I haven't tried, just going by what other people have told me.

Yes I have personally used them. The brass wedges and shims fit perfect. The stainless plate however completely wrong size and holes don’t line up. Here are some comparisons I took. The larger one is the blazer/Jimmy one.

You’d have to oval out the holes to get them to screw on. Even then the there is less contact area and may result in damage. I would use the small stainless stainless plates. You check the for sale section or put up a want to buy post

Those would be very easy to make with simple tools. I had no idea there were no aftermarket available.
