my car only had a piece of carpet on the the parcel shelf. what should be there? and what does it look like? a photo would be very helpful. thanks

The old black vinyl on mine was very tatty so I removed it. The padding on the crash pad had almost disintegrated so I used dense foam pipe lagging from the DIY and recovered it all in cherokee red. Not original but looks nice.[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

that looks very good. i should have said the space behind the rear seat near the screen

It was just a piece of cardboard or fibreboard covered in vinyl in the interior trim colour. Easy to make one up and I don't think you can buy them....? Maybe somewhere like Newton Commercial do them but not seen then at the general suppliers websites....

Newton Commercial don't sell them - it's just a case of making a template, re-covering the one that you've got, or getting lucky and finding a good second hand one. The problem is that the board tends to get 'crinkly' due to sun exposure or leaks from the rear screen so good second hand ones are hard to find

It is available for the convertible. ESM sell them. They call it the rear wooden finisher. http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/pro ... 6583701799 This is what it looks like:[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
I bought matching vinyl from G.S. Jones for covering my parcel shelf two years ago but I don't see it on their website at the moment.
When the weather picks up, I intend to replace the fibre board with plywood and use the bottom of the board as a base to store some essentials such as warning triangle, first aid kit etc (mandatory here).

thanks for the info guys, will make one then

Yep, my interior is made from the Dunelm Mill red leatherette, it looks very snazzy It's not too pricey either.

i recovered all the door and rear panels except the seats with green viynl icluding scuttle panels and rear self behind the seat. i got it from gs jones and cost around £50 with postage, ive got plenty left as they sent me more than i asked for

Woolies (http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk) have a huge selection of material for this purpose. Quite expensive though...
I'm getting the vinyl for my interior from ebay

Choose your seller wisely. There is at least one company with a reputation for delayed dispatch and poor communication. their feedback says it all.

Thanks for the heads up peetee. The seller I have found seems to be prety reliable, I asked for some samples and they arrived two days later, so I'm taking that as a sign
