[Tigers] Trunk wood

[Buck Trippel]

Thanks to the Rootes Archive Centre Trust for both saving and disseminating those original drawings!

 

For those of you who missed SUNI, Archive Chairman Andy Bye announced a massive breakthrough in both of those areas. After many, many years of volunteer work about 15-thousand drawings had been scanned. (I went over and scanned a few thousand of them.)

 

Last Thursday Andy announced that within the next month that number of scans will explode and add another 160-thousand scanned drawings.

 

The next step for all of us will be to get them organized and cataloged. We’ve already made great progress in part of the Tiger and Alpine areas but we will soon have a mountain of scans to start working on.

Ron,

I believe there was only two wood pieces.

Only one under the battery on the inboard 

side (in the depression on the floor).

I seem to remember it was plywood and my

plies had become separated and deteriorated.

Paul Reisentz had the wood reproduced for

his restored cars and there is a supply left.

 

The next time I go there I will measure them

as well as get them available.  I can’t guarantee 

they are perfectly correct but I would

bet on it!

                A good question has come up.

Should there be 2 pieces of wood in the trunk associated with the battery?

 

There is 1 piece screwed to the body at the side of the battery.

 

Was there originally a 2nd piece of wood under the battery tray?

 

I put plywood under my battery tray to get the battery mostly level with no rocking.

 

If there is a 2nd piece of wood – what are the dimensions?
