Basically its just two pointy sticks clamped together with a big bulldog clip. It allows you to take precise inside dimensions and transfer than to whatever you are cutting out. Works like a big inside caliper.
The other thing I found is that it easy to remove material (ie the wood) but not so easy to stick it back on again if you remove too much LOL.

Hi Robin, good idea about the pointed sticks, it would have been ideal!
I was only thinking tonight about cutting a paper template fot cutting the carpet or lining to go in the 'boot'. I guess I could cut some more but that would spoil all your fun
I tried to get a template copy off Simon at Marlin but he was reluctant a said that every car was different. It will depend on the rear tub final position.
cheers
