Tool Box Cover

Looking over CV9998 for the first time as I had not meddled with A7's for about 30 years, certain memories came through the mist.

One was the 'open' tool boxes under the front seats of CV 9998.

It was when I was looking through Rinsey Mills book, ‘Original Austin Seven’ (recommended) that I saw a picture of a tool box cover and knew what was missing from CV9998.

When 'CG' arrived, it still had it's covers in the car, so I set about making two new pairs. From the photo's it will be seen one has a 'finger' hole in it, this one goes under the passenger seat.

The covers are made from 1/4" (6 mm) ply and the metal tabs are 2" x 1". See drawing for all other dimensions. Rinsey Mills shows they had a very brief application of paint, but mine seem to have a good thick layer.
