Everytime you post something I think ,that's cool , I will have to do that as well now.
I'm glad I live a fair distance from you or I would have some explaining to do to the boss .

One day I will pay you a visit for some bits
Keep up the good work

Haha my apologies I do get told every time I do a mod I end up costing someone money spending on mods

Thank you

I never considered using another marque's handle, makes it so much nicer, I had hoped to use the original handle, but made do with the original carpet, as the acoustic cloth matched it too. Mine has a a cut out in the right hand corner to lift for spare wheel access.

Cheers I've just used a piano hinge on mine and the board is pretty light so easy to lift. I've seen one done before using the floor and strut from a tourer which worked well. I wanted a nicer looking handle and the one on my original floor was broken anyway and found that nice chrome one on ebay

I have a custom sub enclosure in my typhoon

I'd like to do something like that but don't think I have quite enough room to get a usable hinged floor in..

How do you keep your sub from sliding around? I've used velcro tape which seems to work ok.


Cheers,

Thanks The sub is just the right size that it wedges in place between the boot floor and the metal part at the top so doesn't move about

Yes I hate having to completely empty the boot to get to the spare wheel well. I store quite a bit in there such as a bottle of water, some tools etc so handy now I can get to them much more easily. Yes that's true, another reason why I wanted to do this as the original boot floor was warped.
