Just measured mine. The body guy was very precise in his measurements before he
welded it in place.? It measures 14 and 3/8ths inches on both sides. Crap.Mike

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.Mike MacLean
