[Tigers] Trunk wood

[Ron Fraser]

Jim 

                Assume!              

Beech wood       Drawing date – 14.1.64 = Jan 14, 1964 and labeled Alpine 260      

the holes are countersunk so probably 2 – flat countersunk head screws x 5/8”?

 

My part does not have those dimensions but this part drawing may have been updated by the time my Tiger was built.

My part is longer, wider and the holes are not on the center line of the part, they are off set up, I’m also not sure it is the original part.

I will have to take more measurements when I take the battery out at the end of the season.

 

This is a great starting point for this part.

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?
