Hi,
Question posted earlier in Tech advice.
am trying to do interior in 1960 356b t5 and need help with rear panel,
i need an old one or advice on shape and dimensions.
Thanks in advance.

Its no more than a sheet of 3-5mm wood, mushroom like shaped, with vertical tuck'n'roll type stitching.
Strangely, it has long 'spikes' that go through the rear of the car and into the engine bay firewall (where they are fixed). Not sure why but I guess it supports two metal 'door handle' shaped belt clips attached to the front of the panel, used for the luggage straps.
If you like I can trace mine out on some paper for you this weekend and post it.................
if you have a pedal board you could do the same for me!

PS yours is the same year as mine, which is a t5 coupe too.

Why didn't you say Rustbucket. I will trace the pedalboard I got with my notchback and send it to you if you wish.
PM me your address.
Will also look to see if I have a rear panel/firewall.
