[Tigers] need spec plate info

[Steve Ralsten]

I had assumed he did the right thing until recently myself, I was 95% sure
it would be correct to remove
it, just didn't know what to leave behind. 
Thanks all for looking it up.

I looked in my copy of TBON and it says, "The "spec" plate was
discontinued toward the end of B947++++ production but four pop-rivets were
installed to fill these holes, until a "change order" dropped the drilling of
this part of the cowl, somewhere around B382001200."  Carroll said that when
he got the car, it had four blank rivets and, not knowing what we know now, he
bought a repro spec plate when they became available and riveted it to the
car.

So, to answer your question, to be correct you should remove the spec
plate and (to be REALLY correct) find some original Rootes rivets to fill the
holes with.

Enjoy,
