I installed the wood packers I made and as I suspected I needed trim the
bottom wood piece.

=20

At the front the wood was riding up on the body =96 trimmed =BC=94 so =
the wood lay
flat

At the rear I did not like all the wood sticking out =96 trimmed =BD=94 =
this now
looks better to me.

=20

This not a concours car so it is my choice to do so.

=20

I  suggest to anyone making your own pieces:

=20

Make 1 mount hole then check the position of the 2nd hole by mounting =
the
wood piece and marking the other hole position

I had to adjust the 2nd mount hole on my side wood piece, the 2nd mount =
hole
was about 1/16=94 closer than the drawing.

=20

For the bottom wood you might want to make a practice piece to see how =
it
fits.

I trimmed my plywood piece, which is 1 option or you could easily move =
the
mount holes slightly in the wood to adjust its position if needed.

=20

I=92m just pointing out what I see and experienced on my Tiger, yours =
may
certainly be different, just be observant.
