It would seem that in 1934 Austin fixed this piece of plywood to the underside of the battery box lid on my Ruby. It was still there when I bought the car in 1984, but I removed it in about 2017 when preparing the bare bodyshell for painting.

What is it for?

Should I repair it or fit a new piece?

And if I fit new, then what should I do with these bits from the pre-war years? It seems wrong to throw them away, but maybe silly to cherish them.
