[Tigers] Under Battery Tray Wood piece...

[Larry Mayfield]

Ok, so I sorta hate to open this up again. 

 

Wasn't there a drawing or link to a drawing for the under battery wood
piece? I ask, because in my inimitable way, I have cross filled it to some
unknown location in my 'puter file system.  So if one of ya has the actual
dimensions as shown on that drawing or the link or a copy of the drawing can
you please sent it to me?  I went out yesterday and moved the battery tray
on "xxxx1136" Mk I and yes, I have a screw hole but only one and it is about
mid tray on the outside of the tray location. And no wood.  BUT, sometime in
the past I put a piece inside the tray, why I do not remember (hey, I have
owned this car since Jan 1967 - lots of water under that bridge).  And I
have no idea as to why I did it  'cause it was many years ago.  I do have
the side piece however. 

 

Anyway, if you have a copy of that drawing, the one under the tray, not the
one mounted to the frame rail on the side,  or a link I would appreciate it.


 

By the way, if you look at the mechanics of the how the wood is supposed to
be helping, it really doesn't.  If the tray sits directly on the metal floor
and abuts the piece on the frame, the battery bolts that hold the bat in
place keep it up against the side and firmly on the bottom.  I have all of
the other OEM battery box  pieces and the battery in my car simply will not
move when it is in place and tightened down. No movement.   Oh, I moved the
car out of the race car shop to my main garage a few months  ago, fired it
up and drove it over. Then I disconnected the ground cable  from the
battery. Volt meter yesterday showed 12.5 volts after all that time.   I
have a spare race car disconnect switch which I will put in the car to
facilitate disconnecting soon.   Oh, and I  still  have  the battery vent
hose in my car after all these years also. Not connected to anything because
batteries with the vented caps are nonexistent  where I  am. 

 

Anyway, nice chatting this morning. very smokey here  in Pahrump last few
weeks. I live about 10 miles from an 11000ftmt  and we cannot see it most
days.  Eyes watering most of the time.
