TR5/TR250 Door Striker/Latch Adjustment

After having a lot of trouble with my door striker plates last year I figured out (or more likely finally remembered) that the catch has two stops, the first a safety and the second should hold the door shut tight. Once I started moving the striker plate out instead of in I made progress, however, after jacking the car up to flush the brake fluid yesterday (went too easy, I ew there had to be a catch) the driver's door is once again giving me trouble. Is there a way to adjust the catch mechanism in the door, or is the only option moving the striker plate?

Please note, pretty sure it is the same as tr4A and TR6

Maybe the problem is with the frame that supports the body of the car...have you checked for cracks ?
Do you have shock absorbers different from the original Armstrong lever shocks ?
