Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

I made a pair for my 47 out of 1/4 sheet felt and a couple of gasket punches. I am not sure what the purpose is either but Packard did provide a sort of recess where they fit into so I decided to humor them and make new. Placing them in the recess and tightening the nut and washer compressed the felt and forced excess up into the end of the slot filling it nicely

All I can surmise is they are there to keep dust or water from getting into the key slot or taper surface and maybe catch any thing that manages to slide down past the key.
