Fitted 8 tie-downs today, using only available holes. Should be good enough to secure loads.

Whilst I was securing the tie-downs, this nice looking GreyHound, more like TanHound, hopped in the boot and commenced slobbering all over me. :unsure:

The rear eyelets DON"T interfere with the door closing. Just in case anyone was curious. Have to mount Fire Extinguisher now, where the two drill hole are in the upright section, so it will be nice and accessible. The floor has no shakes or rattles and is secured with 4 screws. Firm as and my 110 kgs doesn't make it wobble. :

The bolt holes were 8mm and 10mm respectively, standard sizes for Eyelets so, off the shelf items.

Hi, just admiring your checker floor, what thickness did you use.?
What a real tidy job mate, just removed the rear seats and all belts etc from my 05 ragtop, looking to do similar to tidy up the uneven floor, any tips??
Regards.

Nice, looks very good. I built a ply-wood floor for the back and it's rubbish :sick:

Have you got any instructions/measurements for your checker-plate liner and any pics of how it went together? I really struggle at things like this, I can't see a space and picture how something will look in there and how it will go together.
