i just took the thin timber tire cover out, traced around it onto a piece of 30mm ply wood, and cut it out!! fits perfectly because it's a mirror of the original and is nice and sturdy.
From there just buy a couple of stainless 90 degree brackets fix them to the sub-box and then to the timber!! (through the carpet lining so you can hide the cables etc underneath) and away you go!!
Remember to cut a hand grip out of the insert so you can still get to your tire/tools!
All up i think it cost me about $15 and a spare hour
The floors in the hondas are pretty thin, so if you're going to screw anything in it might be a better idea to maybe glue some mdf to the floor with liquid nails or something, and then screw it into the mdf. Or how about just gluing it to the floor?
im gonna make a new floor for my civic whe i fin someon one with a jig saw and what i hope to do is make it 2-peice so that i can have the sub screw down to the wood but have a hinged bit for easy access to the spare tyre. if all goes to plan i'll make a nice DIY for ya'll
