The only snag is the red fir tree that pokes through to the boot. It's one of those snap-off jobs. I snapped it off to raise the shelf but I won't be able to replace it because there's not enough access room. The pic on page 5 of the above pdf shows its position. The question is, will the shelf rattle with no fir tree (or substitute bolt) to hold it down in the centre?
