.... and the manufacturing varied back in 1946... and with that in mind I would say that the actual dash opening was made big enough to accommodate varies of a wide range back then. THe plant didn't want things like this holding up the assembly line.
I have bought LOTS of parts from LOTS of vendors over the past 15-20 years and have run into this problem he mentions countless times. I complained and got more crap sent to me...more than once.
On a couple ocassions the vendors told me "thats the best we can get from our supplier" and they REFUNDED my money and sometimes even told me to keep what they sent. I am still doing business with those guys......
BUT.. I have not bought anything from Chevs of the 40's for over 10 years and do not plan to....... I'll let you guess why as I do not want to "vendor bash". However I will tell you that there are vendors out there that would definitely make it right....One such instance was not long ago. I had a problem and the vendor checked his stock. All his stock was the same way...bad. They told me if I could use the part or make it work to keep the part and use it and they would give me a 50% refund. Now to me that is customer service and they keep getting my orders and I keep getting good service.
