[Mgs] seat removal question

[Bob Howard]

  Aluminum could serve as well for spacing, but it does introduce yet
another metal into an environment that is occasionally damp. Wood does
not squeak; it's light and cheap.  Besides, it maintains some of the MG
heritage of wood in the coachwork. 
  If the wood strips are rotting, that is an indication that there is too
much water in the area for too long.
