What's the most effective method of securing a bamboo parcel shelf under the dash? At the moment, it's just wedged in there - held by the carpet..

electrical conduit brackets? Are they the things that hold wires to the wall kinda thing?

The legroom is suprisinging good still.. you won't hit it with your shins unless you drive with your elbows on the steering wheel... bloody handy thing to have - I love it!

tofu i believe theyre called saddles. they actually fasten pipe or conduit(with wires or cable inside it) to the wall. hardware or electrical supply stores will carry them. should be a few different sizes to suit your needs. rob

havent got pics,but if you have a look at the meter box on your house or residence it should have conduit with saddles fastening it to the wall. they come in different sizes to suit various diameter pipe. i can get you a box of 20mm saddles. rob.
