Bored with hardboard?
 
Bored with hardboard?.... I was, so I cut out a piece of marine ply, gave it a couple of coats of yacht varnish, you never know when your R75 will decide to take on water again. :eek:
Well, I don't get out much these days. :o

I've got a sheet of ply and will be doing this job myself soon. Never thought of varnishing it though. Looks nice, well done :D

Hi Kevin.
Nice touch much stronger as well, did you also drill the holes so the soft mat could still be attached, I did way have a thought of try to see if a tourer boot flap would fit but never got round to it.

That’s a proper job, far better than the originals.
