Ahh, yes! Shipping would be easy, just fill a tank and ship it. But the =

Well, if the drawing is to be believed, the side piece is made from =

Ron,

I believe there was only two wood pieces.

Only one under the battery on the inboard=20

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.

=20

The next time I go there I will measure them

as well as get them available.  I can=E2=80=99t guarantee=20

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?

=20

There is 1 piece screwed to the body at the side of the battery.

=20

Was there originally a 2nd piece of wood under the battery tray?

=20

I put plywood under my battery tray to get the battery mostly level with =
no rocking.

=20

If there is a 2nd piece of wood =E2=80=93 what are the dimensions?
