Re: Boot extension+roof rack/box = centre of gravity problem? hello i'm not sure coz my dad made it. but i think he cut a full back seat in half keeping the fixing's on them. look at if ur chassis is plated underneath u can cut out a bit of ur floor in the back and put some spares in there. or find some hole and put small bits in. hope this help.

Re: Boot extension+roof rack/box = centre of gravity problem? Thats the old style back seat with the hooky thing that goes into the slot in the floor, isn't it? Should be possible to do something with a more modern frame though?

Certainly nothing to worry about. how ever close you think you get to rolling a 2cv it goes that extra bit further before you roll it

(was doing the best part of 60 into a roundabout) Thinking about it, my dad rolled one of his once, that was stripped to just one seat and a roll cage and that just fell over.
