WOOD SPACER for Boot Lid -- BD-112
Factory named "Batten - boot lid stiffening"

Boot lid wood spacer
Thanks to John DeWolf for the dimensions.

At installation this part will take on a 1/16" curvature, but it appears that the screws will be enough to bend it to fit at assembly.

Someone's comment on the material was "Appears to be Oak", but I have reason to believe that all original wood for the MGA was more likely Ash.

Wood stiffener installed
The wood piece was originally painted black, same for all color bodies, and installed with two round head wood screws and a felt pad.
