Help with door latch

Hello all,

I posted a question about this once before, and just got a wise-guy answer
(duct tape!), but I'm hoping someone can give me some real assistance this
time.  The passenger door of my Spitfire will close correctly, but it will
not latch closed.  The latch on the door itself seems to be fine.  I'm
interested in moving the strike plate on the door frame slightly towards the
outside, in the hopes that I can help the latch grab onto the strike plate
better.

It IS the strike plate and not the door latch that's ajustable, right?  I'd
appreciate it if someone could give me some pointers.

Best wishes,

Jeff in San Diego
