best bet is to buy a clock
then go into your bathroom pee on the rim of your toilet and attempt to hang the clock over it. do it wearing your slippers for best results.
let us know how you get on.
:p
I'm joking, of course. thought about parts stores for metal project boxes, etc?

Been thinking for a while that I might make one of these over the next few months to give me something to do... :-)
A movie-sized 11"x13" FC might be a bit big to sit neatly in the back shelf though.
Mike, did you make your FC from a Stahlin box that size, or did you scale it down a bit? Would you mind posting a photo of the FC in your car?
Thanks
Simon

They are a very tight fit using the correct box and I had to remove the mounting brackets that are affixed top and bottom to the box to get it in also, but it does just fit, not that it's in there much. And the proper box cost's a lot of money and I got clobbered for import duties as well! But hey each to there own I suppose :lol:

After discussing this with a couple of people in the US who made / have them in thier cars I went for the next size box down that Stahlin does. IMO fits the back 'parcel shelf' better.

Bought a bit of 1" x 1" aluminium angle iron from b and q and fixed to car using the exisitng mounting bolts for the cargo net.
Since that pic ive added the lettering 'Shield eyes from light' etc

Thanks Mike and Chris for the information. I think I will go with a smaller one. Will see what I can come up with.

hi all
i have to say i have made a little error on this subject
my props shop sells both
BTTF PARTS & GHOSTBUSTERS PARTS
with help from both parties that help me do this there are two companys that surply me with bits
back to the future props (
we all know bruce ) and hes good workghostbusters props me when i get the time
the bttf parts that bruce builds are on sale on his site & mine ( when it gets done ) but saves a lot of time when i order a few as postage costs a few pennys & i dont like people thinking that im robbing them of there good earned money so i do it just as most of you know a bttf mad nutta on deloreans
the projects on my site and what i do help fund the extra ideas i have ( but mostly very mad ideas or expensive ideas)
sa you know i think a little strangley (
as my wife sams knows :lol: )if any of you have spoke to me in the last by e mail or phone about the bttf parts as the order is going through to bruce wednesday night so get them orders in
at the mo i have
john t
robert
mallcom
as i do sell a few mad things like cctv systems and car equipemnt like camreas,alarms fitting, alarms on there own,boys toys ( not not them sort )
the cctv systems are for delroeans owners that either keep there cars out side or in as a frind down south has allready had one off me and loves it when he read the manul to fit it :lol: :lol:
back to the future part 3 car is know done apart from some aparts i need from bruce to add the finishing things
