Default C2 - Grab bar insert 1964

My grab bar is cracked so I ordered a new one from Zip. The old one has six screws and the new one has four (also different screw placement/holes). Which is the right one? The new one is not fitting as well.

If I'm remembering correctly, 63 and 64 use 4 screws, 65-67 use 6 screws. I believe they sent you the correct part. Chuck

63 and EARLY 64 had 4 screws, later 64 through 67 had 6 screws... you likely have the wrong one.
