Hi Trev, I have a parcel shelf that I removed from an EK & also 1 from an FC, the EK one is longer, but apart from that they appear identical.

 My parcel shelf on my FC ute is quite long, sort of runs to the edge of the trans tunnel. Is that correct?

Hi Croc.
It should run right under where the radio (or the delete panel) is. The end is closer to the drivers side than the passenger side (If you get what I mean).

If thats the case how can you fit a Smiths heater or similar on the trans tunnel?????

Here's a picture of a heater and parcel tray fitted to Brett Gillard's lovely FC Special.

Hi Croc.
To answer your question regarding the Smiths heater. You Don't!!
Have a close look at the photo that CraigA posted & you will see exactly where it should go.

Mate, I don't even know how that guy got the heater in. I put my parcel shelf in and there was no way I could get the heater in unless I took the glovebox out. I suppose only if I had it on an angle sloping backwards.The chrome piece that goes between the dash(underneath) and the parcel shelf limits the position where it can go and thus if it's level the heater wont go(Nasco warmaride that is).Regards Kev..

Kev, if you install both the heater and Nasco parcel shelf as per the fitting instructions - they will fit just as shown in Brett's car.  It was designed by GMH to go together.
I have done this many times.  

The EK Nasco parcel shelf is shorter then the FC parcel shelf since the EK heater mounts to the dash and firewall directly above the trans tunnel.
There were aftermarket parcel shelves made by other companies which were different including an FC shelf which runs full width of the car.  I think this shelf could also be fitted to EK as it had universal type mountings.

Thanks Ken, I don't know if that's good news or bad,as now I'll have to try again. It was a long process last time. Maybe the heater was installed in the wrong position by the previous owner. Ken would you have a copy of the fitting instructions and template for the Nasco warmaride heater please???. Thanks for clarifying this for me as I really did want to put both into the car.  Regards Kev.. ::) ::) ::)

I have the heater(Warmaride unit) fitted in centre above the tunnel and I have the nasco parcel shelf fitted.
I drilled one of the mounting holes where the radio back mounting strap bolts to the fire wall .
It is possible to fit them in with a bit of fiddling and measuring and it is still possible to remove heater even with the parcel shelf fitted, as I found out recently when I had to fit a new core.
I know this is not the "prefered"(By the puriest) mounting position for the heater but at least I can alter the front flaps without undoing my seatbelt and in the -5C weather Canberra has you need to play with the heater at times on the move.
Good Luck

PS It is not possible to have the heater and a radio fitted like in the picture using the above, they hit each other.

Hi Chris.
Crisp clean air?? Exactly!! Ice is crisp & clean!! Man, I never tought I would be able to have a go at another State (or territory) regarding the cold weather (I am from TAS). Then, I visited Canberra in mid winter. Man, that is CRISP!!!!!
But I agree, Chris. Those snotty Queenslanders always mouthing of about the hot weather, they do not know what they are missing. Want to be warm? Turn up the heater!!!

You wanna feel cold . GO TO BLOODY ALL HOLDEN DAY NSW.  Richmond is the Coldest place I have ever been, What do ya reckon HARKO. Im sure He will answer , When he has Defrosted. :o

It was only -2C at Richmond, you should come up to where the real "warm" weather is Canberra.
Chris
Last Sunday morning the air was not so clean, went for a drive and coming back into town at 2pm all you could see was a dirty brown layer of smoke.
A bit like Sydney on a normal day ::)

Hi.
Being from TAS, I am quite immune to all the "Cold down there" jokes, but would like to point out to all, that it rarely ever gets into the Minus temperatures. Hobart is a very temperate town. On the top of the mountain it get bloody cold, but this winter, we have only gone under 0 degrees one one occasion (-1 c). It was a frost.
Last Sunday was beautiful. 20 degrees. Bit of a surprise, but we all took advantage of it!!! Spring is on the way. Love it.
