I think you could take the napa ones and bend them slightly in the middle to take up the 3/16" difference. For a $1 it's worth looking at.


BRILLIANT!!!!!

I spoke with a friend who recently had a batch of larger lockplates made (laser cut) for his 1930 Stearns Knight. While they are much, much larger, he said that the shop where he had them done can make a batch of 30-40 for roughly $30. If I can get enough interest, I'll go that route, otherwise I'll just order the oversize Napa plate and make a bend to fit.
As I've mentioned above, the center to center measurement is 1-7/16ths. I'm going to double check with the ones on my car, as I've taken measurements off of a NOS piece and haven't yet tried to fit it to my car.
