I planning on heat shrinking the wires and tieing them back to the parcel shelf (or the child restraint bar). The only thing to remember is that you want to ensure the wires still have a point at which they can be unplugged so if you need to take the tray out you can. Nothing like building something in so neatly, then having to rip it out

What I'm thinking is to tack all the wiring to the shelf, run it along the edge, then have a single plug at the side. I will also post up some results when I get to it.

Oh man I have so many questions...

what are the costs involved with getting some fibreglassing products?
where would be a good place to get them on the coast?
what would i need to do something similar the opposite corner of the boot?
is there any issues with drilling holes in the side of the boot (through the metal) to hold the unit in place?

if someone could answer these questions I would be very grateful

Hey Lochlan
1. Prices of fibre glass really depends on the job, Bunnings sells fibreglass for $25 / meter square, but you also need resin, catalyst, lots of brushes and gloves, adhesives, and good quality tape. All that would add up to $100+ for project like this. unless you can find a wholesaler for cheaper but you still have to buy in bulk.
2. No idea, try bunnings first.
3. You wouldn;t need to do anything unless you want to dynamat, but thats very optional.
4. You shouldn't need to drill any holes, usually if the mould is well made, it should sit in place.

Yellowpages helps a great deal. There are quite a lot of fibreglass shops around the Sydney metro area so I reckon there should be no problems finding one in the Central Coast. Most boating shops should have them too.

Waren Hearne Yachts at Kincumber. You would probably be able to get some scrap of Greg Normans boat to make your box out of

Biase Marine on Pacific Hwy/Central Coast Hwy @ West Gossie should have some too...
