Inca Yellow

getting a 1979 MB GT back on the road

Door adjustment

November 6, 2010

Doors on MGBs were often slightly out of alignment direct from the factory. My driver's door, especially at the bottom sticks out, but this can be improved by moving the lock's strike plate.

The strike plate has 3 screws holding it to the pillar. Loosening these allows the plate to be moved ever so slightly - in my case I shifted it by a millimetre or two which allowed the door to close that bit tighter.

About Inca Yellow

A while back I aquired a 1979 MGB GT, and whilst it didn't actually work I was totally smitten with it and decided to get it back on the road.
