Boot interior card

[Dave Lane]

On mine as well as many other cars the centre card boot trim that sits on the tank and also goes up the bulkhead gets very knackered and often warps all out of bonk .
So i decided it to do it in two sections and not to use card at all .
First off the back is a sheet of fibreglass we use at work , light , flexible and paintable .
This was cut for just the bulkhead .
For the fuel tank boot base i put strips of fireproof foam in the slots and cut down an Imp rear shelf matt so it goes almost to the bulkhead . the fibreglass back borad when fitted keeps it from moving .
Whilst i was at it i did away with the tabs that hold the board in , bent the tabs down one last time and added small threaded studs and knurled brass nuts , board comes out in seconds with no more tab bending .
Pics say 1000 words so here you go

Two large holes are for my fuse box


Added sticky back foam on the rear as sound deadening


Foam strips fill the tank slots and a rubber disc on the sender for protection ----------------, rubber mat cut and fitted


Back board sprayed and fitted , fuse box cover added and a non slip mopar matt for the boot base

Brill, still this to do, not using old one and new millboard too thin so a bit of plate behind the mill board is needed, was going to use 4 rinvuts in bulkhead to fix it in.

Also toyed with the idea of mounting the relays and fuses on the plate rayther than bulkhead so they are flat when folded down.

To0 many ideas ! the list is long

Dave, inspired by the post I finished up my drawings for the maroon chammy as I might get some cards recut on CNC from new millboard
