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?
