Wood Block size under the Cowl
 

2 Attachment(s)
I'm working on a Gordon Smith Air Compressor I just bought last weekend.
It's the Kit that they offered back in the 1930's.
I need to replace the two pieces of wood that fit under both sides of the cowl.
The wood is almost completely rotted away so I cannot get the original dimensions from these pieces.
Can someone tell me the length, width and thickness of the Original Ford Wood Blocks?
A full side template would be ideal if someone has one on a bench that they could trace.
Thanks for any and all input!

I can't help with the specific dimensions but think it would depend on what year & body style your cowl is from. I have GS with a 28-29 cowl but it's buried right now so can't check it.

It's a 1930 Cowl and it did have the Cowl Lights at one time.
I can't read the Body Tag.
