No idea if David Green has none - they were unique to Mk2 Coupes as no Mk1's and the Mk3 Coupe is same as the P5B Coupe.
It is only a lightweight mild steel space frame in 20g angle so it could be made if you cannot find a breaker as it will be hidden - I will try to post a pic but may not be able to this weekend

I'm picking up an old post dealing with my questions. I am making a new rear parcel shelf for my 1966 P5 Mk IIC Coupe. I have the original steel frame, and assume that millboard covered with vinyl is how they were originally made? Was there any trim around the edge of it? Here's some pictures of progress so far. Also, on other P5B Coupes I have seen a "hockey stick" finishing piece along the edge of where the rear door and seat back meet. Is this supposed to be there on my car as well? Does anyone have pics of how this all goes together? I'm adding a picture of this piece on a P5B Coupe for reference. |

 Hello Ken, This is a MK2C rear shelf, it is concave and not flat like the p5b, also it has no edge finishers like the p5b. If your cutting a new top panel for it do NOT use millboard (it will dish), use 3mm HDF better known as 'hardboard'. The hockey sticks you're mentioning are just 'Harness Covers' and tend to go missing. The MK2 does have them but if yours are missing i really would'nt worry about it as they are not visible and not doing anything anyway, plus the rear backrests sit better without them. |

Hi Ken,
I agree with Velvet that the hockey stick cannot be seen and doubt if these have a proper function. However if you still want these, i think i have a spare set which you can have for the shipping costs

Thanks Peter. I indeed used the picture of your beautiful car for the hockey stick example. Following your advice I think I will leave them off.
