Thanks for the input, Brad and Gus.

Although I'm at work right now and can't check it out, I believe the setup on the '53 cab is different than Gus' pic. Gus' pic shows the sheet metal enclosure as having slots for adjusting up and down. Whereas my cab's sheet metal enclosure adjusts side to side, and will not allow up or down adjustment, of which I need in order to make the '51 striker attach.

Do you think it would be a prudent move to pop out the bars from the sheet metal enclosure and elongate the holes in the post, thereby allowing an up and down adjustment?

Thanks again, guys.
