Kube, maybe Bob Drake got a new supplier for the parts you ordered...

I put a set of his '39 floor board seals in our '39 CS several years ago and they fit just like they grew there. I can't comment on his battery tray as the one in our '39 is the one that came with the car. However (this may be a comparison of apples and oranges) the battery try I got from Bob Drake for our '51 F-1 was exactly as represented and a perfect fit. I will admit that sometimes representations can be somewhat misleading but Bob Drake certainly does not have a monopoly in that category. I can relate as it is frustrating when you receive a part and it is not up to the caliber of the original piece.
