Parcel shelf expert wanted. That doesn't seem to have the right number of cutouts/hose holes for my 1969 2-door saloon.
Would any expert care to comment?
Thanks to Moggieshedfull for his helpful engagement on this. His post is a direct response to my wtb.

I can't enlarge the picture but it looks to me that this has come from a car without a heater. Your 1969 car (I also have a 1969 car, a convertible but largely the same as a 2 door) would have the late fresh air type heater with holes for the pipes that direct warm air to the footwell. The "Deluxe" models had swing-out ashtrays under the parcel shelf too. They are quite handy for small change. Deluxe models have a "D" on the chassis number plate

It looks like this: https://www.morrisminorspares.com/body- ... -d-p828896

I know it's £35 which may seem quite a lot for a piece of fibreboard but somebody had to set up a machine and cut the holes in the right place.

Thanks again Stephen.
I am now looking at constructing a modified shelf with a more crushable transverse bar and a fibreboard template that would be a plug and go fit without having to disturb any pipes or ducts.
Wish me luck!
