Which of these would be correct for 1925 runabout? Long ones or short ones? At some point I am going to add a top to my 25 cutdown pickup.

Hope you figure it out.

The bottom hole of the bracket is bolted to the body using one of the door latch bolts. Look or measure to see which bracket has a lower hole that lines up with the door latch. :)

The point here is, do it right! I don't recall if the bolt lines up with the upper or lower striker plate hole, but make sure you are using the correct two hole striker plate, as opposed to the four hole one which is earlier.
