You might want to try your doc. again. All I get is a blank page.

dimensions

Clicking the link in my first post should open MS Word and display a little drawing of the bin area. At least it does on my system. I have uploaded the drawing in .pdf to see if that will help.
The info I need to cut the holes at the right place is:
Width of opening for a bin.
Height of opening.
Distance between the openings at the center
Distance from the top edge of the opening to the rib that runs across the hatch area.
Corner radius for the openings

That works. First question is what are you trying to do? Second one, just to be sure, do you want measurements taken from the stock bin set up?

bin cutouts

I need to have a full interior to be legal in SM2.
I want to move the battery to behind the passenger seat.
I will need access to the battery.
I think that if I cut the holes in the same place as the later FB's bins It will look very close to stock while allowing access to the battery.
Alternatively, would it be possible to hinge the entire panel to provide access to the battery in the "bin area"?
Any info would be appreciated.
