I was about to install the stem fitting reinforcement kit, but I noticed that the wood backing plate is pretty rotted and should be replaced. I can’t really tell what kind of wood it was (solid or plywood).

What kind of wood should I use or could I even use a piece of plastic as a replacement?

Thanks,

Dave
