Thanks for the replies, its nice to know what the side brackets look like, another thing to make :D :D
The screws that go through the side brackets are they bolts or self tappers ?

thanks Dave

I have spare side brackets Dave…
They bolt into the side of the A post assembly but use small screws and nuts to fix to the parcel shelf itself.

Do you have the central. ’U’ bracket support which bolts in into the sides of the transmission tunnel?

Bolts into the 'A' post assembly are 1/4" UNF iirc. The bracket on the LH side has a notch to go around the bonnet release bracket (doesn't need it on the RH side).
