I'm working on upholstery to a '29 Tudor. Currently trying to get a windlace attached to the 'cowl pillar', right in front of either door.... I have a long piece of thin metal I'm sure went there to attach it before, but now I find the windshield swing arm lockdown bolt in the way... What am I missing? There is no hole in the long, thin retainer to account for the bolt. It must be a simple solution, but its beyond me.

Thanks

PS, Mac's sells a retainer like the one I'm trying to fit. I doubt mine is original, but it must be similar. https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_m...wl-pillar.html
