Be interesting to see the t's and c's there; back in my High Street based day's, we used to do credit, and the finance companies had some very strict contractual boiler plate on our side, regarding the clients receipt of goods and the payment to us of the money.

Andrew (Fat_chap) Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I made this for mine with some spare wood I had, couple of yacht hinges, a cabinet lock and some faux leather to cover it. Cost about £20 and a weekend. It's not perfect, but it'll do. Planning on making a new and improved version out of carbon effect plastic over the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Just bear in mind, from others experience using the typical Carbon effect plastic sheet, it has a habit of sagging under summer sunlight, unless braced.

Andy_R Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I used some 3mm aluminium which I got power coated. Total cost was £40 inc. two locks and a long piano hinge. Over the winter I'll be improving it by getting two locks keyed the same, adding a handle and water proofing the very thin gap between the two pieces of metal. I know a few people that have put some bars on theirs to act as luggage carriers and I might do this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has the same problem of a saggy boot box in the summer, but her jeans arent made of carbon effect 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Pullen Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Fat chap what hinge did you us, as thought about a Plano hinge but was worried about water ingress thinking th ally plate is probably easiest and cover with black vinyl to match rest of trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
