1932 pedal plate ID?????

[jim1932]

OK...YES I read the book....

The Plate onthe left in the photo came of my original looking floorboard. It is 2 1/2" by 9 1/2" (I repainted it recently). When I thought I did not have the bottom plate I bought the plate on the right in the photo (Obviously modified).

Questions: The plate on the left, I do not find in the book....is this an "A" part? The plate on the right is in the drawing on the bottom left on page 15-17.

What is the plate on the left? Also, in reading the text and picture, they refer to a "weather pad" that goes between the plates. With the two 1"+ round pads on my "original", I don't see any way the weather pad would fit in between. Anyone have insight or better yet....pictures.... of this set up.
