Porsche ST balsa hood

[Saint-Dave]

Hi All, does anyone have the sizes and thickness of the balsa wood inserts that are fitted to lightweight racing hoods as fitted to a 911 ST etc.

Thanks Dave.

This is a NOS hood. You can get a general idea of the layout.

Yes have put a post on early 911 as well.
Can work out roughly the width and length by doing a scale of the photo, not sure about the thickness though.

I have a factory RSR short hood. I will try to get it out this weekend and attempt to measure. they should be close to the same.
