Eric,
Mine is 46" x 14 1/2". The 46" is measured from the very tips of the parts that curve around the tops of the wheel wells. The distance between the wheel wells is about 36".
Vinyl sounds like a good solution. Are you using the kind of vinyl that's on the glove box and dash?
John

Thanks John. I went to JoAnn's fabric and found the closest thing to the vinyl that is used in the interior. It seems a little smoother than that but if you have the original board to look at it was a hardboard-like material witha the exterior facing the boot a glossy look with some grain in it. So I think that it will look OK. I am going to the thinnest batting that I can find on first with a spray adhesive and then covet with the vinyl. I'll post some pics of the process as I go.

I think they just pressed a pattern into the masonite. Vinyl will look better. Have you considered skipping the batting all together?

That's correct. The trunk millboard (rear petrol tank casing) was "pebble grained" and held to the car by #4 trim screws and cup washers. Initially, these panels were sprayed to match the body color of the car. But, from TS 22014, the millboards were all black.
There was never any vynide covering or batting, just the millboard alone.
