Source Needed: for Door Check (or strap) for 1952 Cadillac 6219X

I'm looking for a door-check mechanism for driver's door on a '52 Sedan. It it the arm that goes from front edge of door into the fender and keeps the door open. There's a spring in it. I've called Fusick, McVey, and USA Parts Supply, with no luck.
Can anyone suggest a source?  The door is off the car, so I'd like to get the part before a show in Mid-August. I imagine it's the same for 1950-53, and probably also Buick Super  and Roadmaster from that era

Thank you!

Are you talking about a fabric strap to stop the door over opening, or the mechanical catch that sit over the hinge and holds it open?
I got a whole top hinge for my coupe from a desert junk yard, because driver side was missing.  Actually ended up buying both hinge assys after he sold me the top, I got the bottom cheap.   So I doubt there's a repro source, as they changed from year to year.   Might try All Cads, or the desert junkyards, if no one responds.   '50s stuff is getting scarce by the minute.   Sedan should be more available.

You might try Honest John's in TX. Mention my name as referral. (It might help...)
