Thanks a million Shaun. If you have time, it's probably just as easy for you to make one for me. Or just a drawing if you're pushed.

OK it's over a year later and here is my under gunners seat rations bin.(MK2) Shaun Hindle got the basic box made which I collected at W&P. I had to get the hinges with rivets and clasp sorted out. I just finished spraying it today. I'll fit it in the next few days. Very pleased. Ron

whilst we're on the subject of boxes i'm having a ration box made by a local fabricator so if anyone else needs a box give me a shout and i'll get some more knocked up, he reckoned on £30 per box and if it turns out well i'll get some of the other boxes done as well.

I think Shaun's bloke charged us £40, which I was very happy with. However the riveted hinge and front hasp were much more labour intensive. Ron

that's a good price ron, to be honest i don't mind paying more if the box comes out right but i've not used the guy before so i can't say whether he's any good, i'll let you all know how it goes when i get the box back from him.

Hi Rick,

How are you?

I would like a box too please! Another I'm also missing is the one in front of the gunners seat, with the angled lid. Should you have that one knocked up I would also like one of those. Thank you.

Cheers,
