To offset the striker plate, if that is what you are referring to, it would
have to move towards the passenger side so only 1/3 of the striker plate is in
contact with the bracket.? My only option is to do it right and have the
bracket moved the correct amount or weld a plate to the bracket that is offset
enough to mount the striker plate to line up.? Better to correct it the way it
should have been in the first place.Mike

Something you might try is offsetting the latch catch and leaving the amount
where it?s at.

Just measured mine to add to the mix and found that mine is 17 1/4 inch from
the left and 15 3/4 inch from the right. I was measuring inside the trunk from
the metal around where the bumper bracket extension goes through the body.?
That would make the center of the latch a 1 1/2 inch offset to the right of the
car facing from the rear. I have body number 598, an aluminum boot lid that
works really well and with my new handle, I can now even lock my boot!??Steven

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
