[Healeys] Wooden Block above Wheel Arch

[John Spaur]

The block is on each side of my BT7 and it sits under the carpet. When I restored my car eight years ago it is certain that I removed and reinstalled or installed new ones that I would have made. However, it appears to serve no purpose.

Attached are pictures of the side block. It is a piece of wood screwed into the inner fender arch with fairly deeply countersunk pan head screws. Length is 2", depth is .75", and it tapers in width from .75" to .625".
It is painted black and appears to act as a buffer for the top bows on BT7 cars.
 
Hope this helps

Does anyone know the size and purpose of the wooden block above the wheel arch in this picture? I can make the blocks if I can get the dimensions.
 

 
Thanks… Harold
