Everything on the left side is plywood. If I squeeze the remnants together, they come out to 1" thick. The routed out portion goes through 4 of the 7 layers of wood.

The top felt is 21mm thick, or 7/8 in inches. It is on a piece strip of 3 layer plywood about 1/8 thick. Total thickness of the combination is 1"
The following photo is a closeup of the wood cradle removed fromthe box. This is from the burnt side, but there is enough material there to figure out what belonged.


Can someone post a picture of the other style? While the manual shows a change in the cradle (the wood part) it never makes any change in the felt portion.

Regarding the box for the loading tool, yes, it was also padded, but with 1/8 rubber sheet, held in place by split rivets. With the price this loader ended up costing me, I thnk my box just may incorporate a padlock on it as well!!
It must be gold lined aircraft that transport this stuff from England.
When it rains, it pours, however. After keeping an eye out for years for one, I ended up buying two in the same week. The second one is still waiting for an export permit from the English authority, before it can be shipped.
