#1 FHC boot dimensions?

Post by Malc » Fri Apr 11, 2014 1:50 pm

Can anyone let me know the dimensions of the boot on an FHC? More especially the length from the bumper to the back of the board behind the seats. I want to see if there is any difference between the length on an FHC and a 2+2 with the rear backrest at its rearmost position. Thanks

Malc, in my 68 FHC the distance from the back of the erect luggage board behind the seats to the rearmost inside lip of the hatch opening (measured at the centerline of the car) is 41.5 inches. The distance from the back of the luggage board to the rearmost bulkhead (again at the midline of the car) is 41.25 inches.

In my 2+2, with my rear seats down, the distance from back of rear board to inner lip of boot is 52.4 inches, compared with the 41.25 for Malc's FHC.
The 2+2 is 9 inches longer than the OTS and the FHC
Better for golf clubs!!

Didn't read your question properly, did I malc!
So, my midline distance to rear of bulkhead from inside of boot is 41.6 inches with rear backrest raised. So, same as FHC. Means I guess that with bulkhead folded down, it's all bonus room.
