With basic metalwork skills you could knock up one of those boxes in your own workshop

Hi Mike,

I tend to concur; the only difficulty I can see would be achieving the stamping in the door. The attached pictures show the remains of a water tank catwalk with the box attached (not mine!). Assuming the frames of the catwalk are about 30mm, I estimate the box is roughly 300mm (ish) wide.

Please could you advise the width of the box on your Morris?

Thanks,
Owen.
