Can anyone guide me to a site that has the dimension to reproduce the rear fold down wood pieces. My bj8 came without the rear fold down parcel shelf, the pictures I have seen suggest its not too difficult to make its the dimensions I lack. Thanks Saltiga

There's a rear folding down parcel shelf but no folding down rear seats. It is not an easy piece to make and is the most single expensive piece to make and cover when doing a interior restoration. The piece(wood) can be purchased new. It's a bear to cover!
 
Try the company I listed below.

I seem to remember purchasing my rear seat wood assembly from him a few years ago.

Hi saltiga. The piece is made of a combination of straight cut pieces and compound curved pieces. I took mine apart and had to make about 2/3 of the parts using the old rotted parts as a guide. It is not simple. Sadly, I lacked the skill to draw blue prints and I do not have the measurements. You might want to send a message to those in your local club nd see if someone has an old one that you can copy.
