Proper Trafficator fit

I am installing trafficators on a 61 2dr and would like to confirm fit. The upper end of arm is recessed below the body surface, but the lower end is flush. I was suprised at the fit as I thought the assy would be flush similar to the blanking plate that was removed.

I've just checked my '57 Minor and the top of the semaphores is recessed by approx. 1/16" and the high point of the curve near the bottom is approx. 1/8" proud of the body.

Thank you for the reply. The fit on the set I purchased has the top recessed 3/8" below the body surface. I suspect I may have the incorrect mounting bracket. I can shorten the upper leg of the bracket to bring the assy flush with the body, but did not want to do so until I could verify what it should be.

Regards

Be careful, the measurements may differ on later cars than 1957, you really need another owner to confirm the details.
