This is giving me ideas for something in behind the back seats in temeraire but an audio enclosure instead of storage but still to give a mostly flat boot area. Keep up the good work!

Hi Lambert. Great design - I am going to steal it with pride!
Any chance of you sharing your cad files? Sketchup .skp would be best, but whatever you can would be a good start

I'd love to but it hasn't materialised, to level off the back of the seats I'm now using a block of blue high density closed cell upholstery foam 12x5x36 inches as it's a lot lighter than an enclosure, I'm just waiting on the sewing department to make a cover to protect the foam. As for audio I'm still weighing up my options but it's currently looking like a high quality pair in the factory B pillar positions, but I am also wanting to save weight now more than anything while maintaining the 4 seat configuration so the whole audio system is under review.

looking at the pictures of the frame it looks like the early version had a simple flat iron bar acrosst he top. the later images seems to show a more robust welded square tube arrangement. Am i seeing this correctly, and if so, what wsa the reason for the change in design?
