i got an autoleads connector, quick release so i can take the shelf out without undoing the connections at the speakers. got the hinges on and it sits in fine, needs a little bit more work before im happy though :)

what ever u do...dont buy one from Motor world...i had mine a month and just taken it back as it is breaking at the joints....hopefully i get a enw one back or im gonna have to repeair the old 1.

With your speaker wires, have you got them so you can take the shelf out easliy, like peugeot have some connector that just unclips. Gona make one for mine now see!

yeah cud u get some pics for me as well,coz im making my own as well

i didnt bother wiv the lifters m8, or the hinges either actually. It looks wicked tho, ill try & get sum pics if u want

cool, im gonna try and put the hinges on mine now, dunno what depth ive used will check and update :)

i had an MDF parcel shelf in my fiesta. i used 10mm MDF and it supported my kenwood 6907s without problem. i couldnt be arsed makin another parcel shelf so i just cut the original corsa shelf. holds up fine, no bending but the sound quality isnt as great and the shelf wont lift up as its too heacy, it actually holds the boot lid down!!

Use 18mm its alot better!i just made sum blocks 4 it 2 sit in 2 either side of the round hanger pins.Finshed mine yesturday!Il get sum pix soon if u want?

To get the shelf to sit at the right level, i cut 8mm deep square into the shelf to put the clips in. Difficult to see with the carpet on tho.

cheers mate, im gonna have a crack at it 2moro after work

Here u go -



Got to run, fish fingers burning! Any questions, u2u or reply here mate! :D

cheers, if u could show me a piccy of the old hinges on ur new shelf then that would be cool :)

Mines hinged.

I used 15 or 18 mm thick wood. To make it hinged, i took the original ones off the original shelf and cut them in.

Will take a pic in a bit, make it easier to explain.

Another tip, after you cut your speaker holes, cover these with a pair of old tights b4 u put ure carpet over, stops it from shaggin down the speaker holes. :thumbs:

i made my own but it sagged so im makin a new one out of thinker mdf, has anyone got one which lifts with the boot lid? how have u hinged it for it to lift? also have a quick release speaker connection thing, where and how have u all mounted them? ? ?

also any tips on makin good shelves whould be very much appreciated as my new boot build is nearly complete :)

pics r also appreciated :)
