The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1935 Phaeton inside door handle position.

I’m in the process of re-trimming an English built very early 1935 phaeton, with the forward mounted door handles. It appears the original front door mechanism is mounted further forward than the American versions. The door trim/card has two holes. What looks like an original hole in the trim that isn’t punched through the facing material ie a blind hole and also a very roughly cut hole further forward. This hole is approximately 4” from the front of the trim and the original looking unused hole is 5 1/2” from the edge. Can anyone please measure from the centre of the door handle to the edge of the trim.
