Traveller Striker plates.

Hi all,
Just got my Traveller home
but the drivers door striker plate is busted 
Even when the new one gets here, I'm not sure it will stick out enough to effectively lock the door, as the door-B-pillar gap seems a little large. Should I:
a) shim the striker plate off the B-pillar (easy and lazy),
b) Shim the hinges off the A-pillar (hard, I imagine the door weigh a tonne),
c) fit a 4-door striker plate, which appears to have a much deeper 'kick' to the locking slope.
Until I know, leaving the vehicle empty and pulling the loom out of the engine is all I can do!
