Thanks for the link to the thread. I tried to search for an answer, but I must be using the search feature wrong, because every time I use it I get 40 pages of everything BUT what I am searching for.
This is a pertanant quote from that thread...
"The part is listed in the catalogues for '47 - '55 1st. There isn't a specific part for th '47 to mid year '49. So I guess I got the only part that is available"
and this...
"The early ones had the link running parallel to the opening. They were changed mid-year in '49 for what ever reason is anybody’s guess and one is as good as the other. Regardless of the reasoning, I don't think they wanted to retool the inner doorframe so it was left as is and a fiber pad was glued to the frame where the rod crosses over so it won't rattle. The link sitting at and angle was how all of the later ones were till the end of the run".
And yes the door panel interferes with the control if it is mounted this way, so the spacer mentioned above would be required.
