The dimensions are approx 102cm wide X 82cm deep (front to back)
I have one laying around (for my coupe project) which I can photograph and/or measure other dimensions if you would like.

No probs.
It is currently sitting in the boot of one of my coupes (not bolted in) with a few other bits and pieces on top of it so I'll dig it out on the weekend and get a few photo's of it.
