An adjustable connection (65) of the adjuster (60) adjusts the spacing between the pivotal connection (32) and a curved gooseneck portion (48) of the gooseneck strap (40), that connects the first end thereof with a second end (44) thereof on which the closure member (20) is mounted. A second pin and elongated slot connection (66) is also provided between the adjuster strap (62) and the gooseneck strap first end (42) at a spaced location from the pivotal connection (32). The adjustable connection (65) includes a threaded adjuster member (74) that extends between distal ends (68, 70) of the first gooseneck strap end (42) and the adjuster strap (62), which distal ends (68, 70) are located on the opposite side of the pivotal connection (32) from the second pin and elongated slot connection (66).
