It mounts fine at the bottom with the two sheet metal screws. Was this top mount spot welded in or does it secure with hardware, any source for this upper mount, thanks HUGH

This worked fine on my passenger side. I also mounted the bottom of the bracket with two screws on my drivers side, the problem is there is no where to put the top screw as the small inner mount is missing. I don't really want to have to undo the passenger side to see what this top bracket looks like as it was a bit of a pain to line everything up during the install this past weekend, also have no way to take pics. Thank you so much for ur response. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 185 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 185 | Also on my 52 the top screw mount is internal, your pic shows an external top mounting. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | It is GM's pic, used more to illustrate the mounting points than an exact. The brackets changed in 1951 with the new Venti-pane doors but the screw locations are consistent location wise with a couple minor changes (they are still RH/LH specific). If you are missing the top piece as described you will need to fabricate something as the inner spot welded door parts are not reproduced.

I really like that special hardware section at Lowes, again thanks for your quick response. | | |
