While we're on the topic of hardware, does the BESA chest use the same hinges and hasps as the No.15 sniper rifle chest? Long strap hinges, short flip-over hasps and cast swivel latch keepers. If you need sets, I've got extras from CNo.7 rifle boxes.

It certainly has the same hasp as the bren chests I've seen and the 100 round drum magazine chests of which I have two (with the magazines i might add
 ).Interestingly enough, the clasp/latches are common with the exterior stowage accessory hasps on a humber. I have a set of those off a landrover that I need to use to make up some shell can mounts for the rear wings and for one of the front wing mounts.

That makes it easier. The plans I have for the No4 Mk1T transit chest show the ends with a cap. Possibly more an issue if the lid is multipiece.
So, on the subject of woods. The No4 Mk1T plans indicate Deal for the top, bottom and sides and beech or elm for the ends and interior fittings. Lacking a good source for Scotch Pine (Deal) I'm going to use spruce or poplar most likely for the sides and Maple for the ends. I'm going to avoid oak as that has tannins/acids that'll attack any steel/iron fittings inside, including the screws unless galvanized.
