I also have a couple of original jack straps with the stock rusty washers. Judging from the fact that my latch has the same configuration that yours does, neither is bent. That was the configuration that was used, and it works fine after almost 80 years. P.S. My son had me convinced mine was bent also, until I saw the pic of yours.

Rick went thru about 3 different suppliers over the course of time that he supplied the trunk kits. The face sheet with the lines changed with was available and economical. The jute backing to which the face sheet was adhered became basically illegal (Uncle Sam thought someone might smoke it},
Rick always tried to simulate the original material with affordable available materials.

I believe the striped material with the fine lines in Tim Gilmartin's picture is the outside of the fuel tank filler pipe sleeve.

In the background is the original piece from behind the rear seat, it has thick black lines.
To the RHS is the sample supplied by Rick Hulett which has thin black lines with a finer pattern.
At the lower LHS is the material I made up. It is based on the original sample but I made the lines too thin. I was not looking at the bigger picture at the time. With care I can salvage the job by redrawing the lines thicker.
So we have two distinct line patterns, one with thick lines in early production cars and one with fine lines in later production cars.
I believe the background colour was all the same. The sample of the original material in the picture has faded a lot.
My Cord has Serial No 1586 A, I have no idea when the line pattern changed.

Thought I would capture and post pictures of the trunk fabric in my 812 Beverly. No idea if it is original but sure looks like it to me. Hope these can be of some help.

May I talk you into sticking your head into your trunk and doing some more detailed photos (including some overall, in corners, and ... ) ?

While Gai and I were in the Auburn Hospital in 2018 Zoey was in the Grand Parade with her friends the Butler family. She had a ball in the Butler's 1919 Auburn tourer.
I have already experimented with redrawing the lines and think it will work out ok.
The attached pictures show Zoey on the left with Taylor on the right
Cheers from Down Under,
Terry, Gai and Zoey

When I suggested to my wife that I could remove the lining panels and redo the lines to widen them ................. she replied "DON"T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"
I guess it stays.

body. This can be accessed by removing the spare wheel but that is a chore. I modified my trunk shelf so that it has a removable section in the RHS above the void. It is hidden away by the carpet over the shelf.
To access the compartment you just have to pull back the carpet and remove the lid. There is a lot of space for a screw jack, modern hub cap removing tool, heaps of other tools and spares. I also fitted a small panel so that the stored items would not damage the fuel tank filler sleeve.
This leaves the rest of the trunk free for everything else or clear for car shows.

Thanks for posting these pictures. There is only one Beverly that I know of in Australia and it has been customised to some extent. Others will have to comment on these pictures.
Can you add a picture of the inside of the trunk lid please???
Thanks,
