    Hey P4trol,
    I used the high density foam for my tools, we used a “hot knife” to give a similar effect (ok, not as neat but way cheaper and matched our tools) to laser cut-outs for individual tools, to stop noise and keep them secure while bumping along.

    That looks good.

    Received the case today. It isn't pelican, but it is solid. The old mouldings are similar in appearance to Styrofoam, but black. It also won't be able to be turned into a bazillion pieces by any child. It is a little slipperier than Styrofoam. I'm trying with the idea of a scalpel to cut it.

    Will look at a hot knife though.

    Shape a piece of tie wire into the hoop you need to cut and heat it with a heat torch then use that to slice out. Should make very tidy cuts.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
