Re: Sprite Seats - Packing Strip, wood

MGBs used the packing strips at least through the 1973 model I had. On the
B, there were aluminium washers that fit neatly into holes in the wooden
strips so that the amount of crush that you could inflict upon the wood was
limited. I always assumed that the idea was to distribute the stresses over
a greater area of rusty floorboard.
