Another early 28 question about floorboards

[mrtexas]

Can anyone comment on this part in the Snyder's catalog?

 

[Charles Reese]

my notes show:
• (April ’28): matching cutouts were made on top & bottom boards to accept a snap-in steel plate allowing access to clutch housing hand hole cover thus facilitating lubrication of clutch release bearing

i do not know where i got this info (i.e. not in JS, possibly a Doc K aricle) and do not know inclusive dates.

Here is the back of the original floor boards on an E28....

It is mentioned on page 11-3 of the Judging Standards.
"In May 1928 an angle snap-in cover was added in front of the
shifter and was used on the remainder of the vehicles with a
left hand brake."

Yes I see that.. I guess I did not pay to much heed as it is May and I have a Early Jan, car..
Thanks Bob C

Only the bottom boards have a cut out? What is the size of the cut out? Thx

Anyone care to post a photo of their E28 floor showing this plate in place (from the top)?
