Tom, if you loosen the two striker attach screws just enough to move the =
striker, you can adjust it in the inboard and outboard direction. =
Making that adjustment has worked for me. It's a trial and error =
process to get it just right.

Subject: [Healeys] Door latch or striker adjustment?
=20
Hello all,
My 65 BJ8 driver door is not latching. I read the archives and am still =
wondering about what to do.
=20
I have a new latch (on door, correct?) and striker (on body, correct?). =
Furflex feels like it's offering some resistance but the door closed =
when it was first installed. I am wondering if the striker is first =
thing to adjust and, if so, how to adjust it. Reference in an archive =
note was made to shimming the striker "out" -- would that be the way to =
go? I assume that means standing more proud of the shut pillar?
=20
Just wondering if there is a best way to start this fiddling.
=20
Thanks in advance,
Tom
