1996 Defender 90. The truck came to me with the middle seat missing and carpet over the metal plate in between the seats. I have bought a Britpart cubby box from Paddocks and it's not obvious how to fit it. The box has 4 MDF battens on the underside in the form of a square. If I rest the box on the metal plate it looks 'wrong' as the battens keep it up above the seat box with a gap underneath. If I remove the metal plate, the battens fit perfectly into the gap. This looks as if it is how the makers intended (right height, doesn't move, looks neat), but the MDF and underside are bare with no finish, and on the first wet day the MDF is going to swell and disintegrate. Should I fit the box like this, having first treated the underside with something waterproof like oil-based paint, or am I missing something obvious?
Many thanks for any advice - would like to have it done this weekend if possible
