Are you still lurking? I's be grateful if you could email me.

There are more details to come - apologies for the quality, but all my good drafting gear is no longer functional.

I suggest you mark out this pattern in cardboard and trial fit to your own car before cutting any plywood.
There can be variations from car to car over t...
