Thanks Dave - I found one like this one - so will see if I either find the

Carl,
Here's a photo of the placement, these are originals and held in place by
one recessed slotted screw on each side, they are about 3" long by 1" wide
and 2" high. I guess they were supports for the capping since the tops are
curved slightly...
