    Good luck with the search and report back what you come up with
    If you're after alloy boxes can I suggest you try typing in "Roadie boxes" somewhere.
    I picked up a few [lockable for $50 each} ATM its storing the lambs wool seat covers from the Patrol.
    When I googled the brand and pt number they retailed at $600 new.
    As a bonus they are dust and water proof as well.

    EG if you compare the price to say a space case I think they are fair,,,http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Australia...sAAOSwl9BWIaxi

    You would sell heaps with the right price, all it needs to be is dust proof as good as it can be,
    with a couple of over-centre catches.
    Whats a good size 450mm wide by 700mm long by 450mm high, spring load
    handles on each end what price you think ????$$$$$
    no welding required just fold and rivet with some silicon

    I always look at the Super Cheap Alloy range but they are all a tad too big
    Too big is no good they need to be able to be manageable by one person

    Dodgy bastard, but would make it cheaper.

    I'd rather learn 2 weld and give myself practice and weld it fully

    Good points. I was thinking plastic to save the interior a bit. Some of those Alloy boxes would be shite on the rest of the gear packed around them.

    I saw these on a camper trailer advert, but buggered if I can find out who makes/sells them. Wonder if the camper trailer mob would sell just the boxes...
