[Healeys] BJ7 Parcel Shelf Mystery

[David Nock BCS]

The rear seat back on the BJ7 does not fold down flat to make a shelf like the BJ8. It simply leans forward to help make room for the top when it is being folded up and down.

There are two tenax studs on the top edge to attach the tono cover.

I decided to fix my BJ7 parcel shelf that has been out of the car, well forever.  The bottom of the wood frame is rotted out and the hinges are missing.  I have the chrome retaining bars that fit into the rubber holders.  I plan to fabricate a new plywood frame.


When I stripped off the vinyl cover, I found another one under it!  Both look "factory original" but the inner one has the holes for the tonneau cover snaps, the outer one does not.  Was this a slap dash repair by the factory or by a dealer or a PO?  Anyone ever see something like this before?  I think I can get the hinges at SC Parts.  Do the hinges attach on the front facing part of the parcel shelf - otherwise how does it fold down?  If anyone has a pic of their parcel shelf "up" and "down", I'd greatly appreciate it.
