Thanks Ron, it looks like my guess was correct and 1" has been cut off the top.

Hi Mike,

I have an original Mk1* blanking board I can measure if it's any use to you, which I think is the same board that was referred to at the start of the post, as I now own one of Mr Rowe's Carriers.

Regards,

Tom

Thanks Tom but Ron's 23" seems right looking at how much my board is short. Just wish someone hadn't cut the end of the board, why!!

Mike I would try to add the missing inch. I'm no carpenter, but I'd draw round the end of your board on another piece of 3/8 ply and cut out that shape with a jig saw to include the curved ends. Cut it off at 1 inch, glue it and screw it with sunken head screws through the top. Final shaping and filling with body filler before painting. It would probably be advantageous to chamfer the mating edges before joining them. Ron
