Boot board ???

Post by Deadly Dave »

I was thinking of buying or making a boot board for my Mini and was just wondering if anyone here had one and what they thought of it.

the boot of the mini isnt the biggest to begin with and the boot board makes it even smaller and i'm up and down to sligo each week with 1 or 2 lads so need every bit of space possible!!

Dave, I'f you are over this way feel free to drop in and measure up mine. it includes the cover for the (injection) fuel tank that makes the high pitched whine from the pump a *little* less audible.
I didnt make thisone, but i cant see how its that hard.
As to space, i find the gap between the battery & wheelarch very handy to put the jack and other bits and bobs.
