Default Wireless cover stowage.

Hi, Bruce you are correct,item 22 in stowage pic attached, I think on early carriers 40 to 41 they used countersunk screws to hold the wood, on later ones like in the stowage pic of the 43 carrier above they used countersunk bolts that go right through the wood.

I think it must of been a tight sliding fit as I'm unsure how it was stopped from sliding back out?

Without the luxury of a cover I can't trial fit but I think if you put the cover in 'curved side up' the lip on the bottom might slide over, then drop behind, the battens. Gravity and the wood would hold it in place until you lifted he lip over the wood and out to remove it.

ps. did you get the c/u backing plate? I need a warm day to sketch up the rest.

Hi Bruce, yes got the picture many thanks, will trial fit the cover and put up some pictures. By the way is there a small slither of wood under the valve storage box/tray between the box/tray and track guard?.

Not inches or millimeters for you. Slither as a unit of measurement...right on!!

I can't say. Mine wasn't attached and the imprint of corrosion under it doesn't say one way or the other. My instinct tells me if there wasn't a part listed in the parts book there probably wasn't one. The only alternative is that there isn't a part number because the wood was considered part of the bin (hence no separate number) but this isn't typical of Ford.

Default Wood packing

Bruce, I will check in the parts book for the countersunk screw lengths required, I suspect they list 1/2" long, which would mean no wood, unlike the ammo storage box which lists 1 3/4" long bolts, here's the original wood packing, two pieces sandwiched in there.

Default Packing

The screws are listed at 1/2" long same as the smoke bin which doesn't have any packing. Mystery solved, but I thought I would ask.
