That looks like the stuff. Ta very much.
Will need to work out what size sheet and I can spend an afternoon cutting and fitting. I'll post some pics once I'm done. Thanks Keith |

I did this and used j bolts and made some socket type nuts that sat flush with the top of the board. The hook of the j hooked into the original lashing points meaning I can secure the board properly but remove it and leave no trace of it ever being there

Often sold as phenolic plywood. £40 or so should get you an 8’x4’ sheet of 18mm stuff from your local timber/builders merchant that is suitable for your use.
You can get much higher quality (i.e. more water resistant) stuff for lining trailers and the like but it’s double the price, or more. |

I managed to source a sheet of 18mm buffalo board, cut the sheet to size and mounted it in the rear loadspace. Contemplating using the large off cut to make a platform on the roof rack.
