I think Carl may be right??
My memory is a little foggy but when I was doing my doors I remember having one of the control arms fitting the recess and one that didn't. I had bought two doors for my 52 and was using the control arms from the OLD door. Then I remembered one of the old doors was a 1950 door on my 52panel. Problem solved. Ordered the correct control arm and it did not fit the recess on my 52 as mentioned above.

....sometimes I wish I had used the ones that fit the contour of the door and pushed, rather than pull, the inside door handle as I believe the cardboard door panels would fit better and flatter?

EDIT: its only my opinion but I think they were changed to pull rather than push door handles as a safety issue???

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
