Parcel tray/shelf

thinking about sprucing up the parcel shelf under the dash. 1970 traveller.

Any tips for getting it out? I can see two bolts into the kick panels and I've read about rivets under the bonnet, what about the heater hoses?

Cheers

You don't need to disturb the heater hoses :wink:
There are 2 plastic hoses which go through the parcel shelf in order to direct warm air into the footwells, but these are just a push fit.
As you say, there are just the 2 screws - 1 in each side - and the rivets into the bulkhead area. I found it easiest to remove the battery as there are 2 rivets through the base of the battery box into the parcel shelf below. On my car I used pop rivets of a decent length with a washer on each side to spread the load. It was much easier than using the bifurcated rivets as originally used.
