[Tigers] Trunk wood

[Larry Mayfield]

Well, if the drawing is to be believed, the side piece is made from Beech wood and so mahogany just will not do at  the concours judging, eh?  And to top that off, will the correct Beech  wood have to be grown in the UK where it was most probably, likely, sourced from? Has to be authentic, eh! Points can be lost otherwise…

 

Kinda laughing a bit…

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?
