The very comprehensive ‘bolt list’ on Tigers United lists the fasteners for the side piece as 2 - #6 x ¾” machine screw flat head Philips and shows nothing for a lower piece of wood
For those who don’t know their Beech from their Birch, as a carpenter I DO know… lol
The fine grain European Beech is on the left and lighter grain Birch on the right
Both samples are sawn ( NOT plywood )
That side wood drawing actually has a part # 2231040 There are a few part #s in the parts book for the trunk that are 22310xx but not that one… kinda like those wedges for the front top to windshield … they exist… but not in any list. That might be the case with the possible lower filler under the battery… maybe Buck has seen a drawing at the Rootes trust for one ??

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?
