I have a 70 Ghia but want to use the older door handle. Looks like the older door handles hang a little lower on the door panel.

Questions: Will the back bracket of the older model still latch onto the door so I don't pull the panels off when I shut the door?

See Pictures:)

I don't know.

There is a door differences thread but it dealt more with handles, latches, locks and things.

You might look at it and see if there is an help in there......

As long as the bracket slides behind the "L" on the window slide I dont see why not. I have had 3 different pulls on my doors of different lengths, no problems.

The problem is, the stock bracket position is about 3 inches higher than the position i want to use so i can use the arm rest i want to use.

The arm rest i want to use is from an older model design, I like that older fashion look. But the older armrest are shorter than my 70.
