and what have you used to fix it on with? I was using velcro, but the adhesive backing kept coming off.

I was going to ask that, looks half height to me - only one I have seen like that was in JonnyW's racer and he had his custom made like that.

You can fit a huge amount into a Cerb, going to LM a couple of years ago I astounded the 911 chaps we were there with when I kept pulling out more and more things from the boot hehe 8 man tent, 2 sleeping bags, 2 pillows, 2 folding chairs, gazebo, 2 bags of clothes, camping stove with cooking paraphernalia ... we even managed to do a reasonable size shop at the L'Eclerc on the way down although that did have to go on the rear seats I concede biggrin

I doubt it would have fitted in the Cerb boot, as the car in the pic is not a Cerb!

LOL, you're right. I am sure this was in the Cerb forum early or had my coffee not kicked in yet.

the Cerb boot is smaller but has the advantage of back seats

Is there much difference? Or just the petrol tank bit where there's space above it?

Not lower/smaller than normal as far as I know.
Stuff on top is l-r
Torch (small tripod balanced on top), cd changer, Bottle of water (not normally there), small socket set/first aid kit and spare bulbs.

Held on with masking tape at that time but now velcro.

No idea - but fits in the Chim ok, can even get the roof in when required.
