That was good, because a couple of them needed to be replaced after loosening and tightening a couple times.
Fair point, but unfortunately the only strikers available at that price are URO brand, which is universally recognized as pure garbage. I'd rather have 30 year old genuine strikers with new "locking eyes" than new URO strikers. They show Genuine MB strikers as "NLA" - I'm not sure if that's really the case or if they're just out of stock.
