1963 Valiant 'vert door latch latch (?) not working

Gday to everyone - just closing this thread with a real happy ending.

Thank you to all who posted, always seem to get great advice on FABO, and that is such a terrific help to someone Downunder with a USA car or 2.

Anyways, the problem was really adjustment of the striker. I spent not a little time fiddling, but once I got near to it closing properly, I just tweaked it until I'm happy.

It does need to be given a decent shove, but this latch looks like it has been around the block a bit, and it's come a long way from not shutting at all. I'm happy - thanks.

I have bought another latch (used) and some bits off a FABO member, and if mine plays up on me again I will replace it.
It isn't a car that I drive often anyways, so I'm hoping to pass the parts on to the next caretaker (whomever that happens to be).

Thanks again to you all, and all the best.
Regards
Gary
