I think you are right. My latch, by some miracle, works as it should.
Measuring from the left bumper extension to the edge of the latch bracket gives
15-1/4". Measuring from the right bumper extension to the edge of the latch
bracket gives 13-3/4". the latch bracket is 2-1/4" wide. Assuming that my car
isn't too badly out of shape it looks as if the bracket is offset about 3/4" to
the right. Maybe you can get your body man to correct it gratis since it's his
mistake.
Good luck.

Subject: [Healeys] Trunk Lock Problem
Can someone look at their 100 and give me some kind of measurement location for
the angled bracket that is welded between the trunk floor and the support hoop
for the rear shroud. The trunk lid lock does not line up with the striker in
the trunk, so I can not lock the trunk. I suspect during the restoration when
the new hoop and bracket were welded in, the body man simply welded the bracket
in the center. I suspect it should be off center to the right a bit looking
from behind the car for proper alignment. The trunk lock is a fixed location
with no adjustment. The striker does adjust left and right some, but not
enough to line up correctly. I am not looking forward to removing the bracket
and re-welding it since it has been painted already.
