Boot (Trunk) Partition

In order to satisfy regulations regarding not being able to touch the cables carrying EV traction battery voltages, I will need a plastic partition in the boot. The old fuel tank cover handles the switchgear on the left of the boot.
I will be using 3mm polycarbonate and it will be mounted just this side of the four packs along the rear firewall. It will be a bit fiddly as it has to be cut around the boot hinges.
I thought I'd get some quotes on cutting and drilling polycarbonate before I bought a piece at Bunnings (hardware store) and did it myself. The second quote was only just a bit more expensive than buying an uncut sheet. So, I dropped this drawing

into
Plastics for Industry P/L
13/189 Cheltenham Rd
Keysborough VIC 3173
today. Ashton was a pretty easy guy to deal with.
It should be ready early next week so I can instal it over the Christmas break - assuming I got all the measurements correct.

Oh, and my tailshaft is ready for pick-up.
