Angus,

Which spacers were these?
The shims between the hinge and body (A075U0329Z)?
Spacers between the window frame and the door beam (A075W4015f)?
Something else?

The spacers between latch and beam. There's a plate that the upper two setscrews go through and then two fat washers at the bottom. The washers were missing from mine - and had been for as long as I can remember. It probably explains why I've had a few latch failures.
