For the record regarding location of the dimmer switch hole:

The dimmer switch on my early model year '41 is lower on the floorboard; slightly below the clutch pedal hole. When I bought a replacement floorboard advertised to fit '41 to '48, the unit I received had the dimmer hole much higher up on the floorboard. I recall that from the '48 I owned 60 years ago as being correct position for that car. The wiring for the dimmer on my '41 would not reach far enough, so I cut a hole lower in the floorboard. That location is easier to reach but also subject to inadvertent activation.
