Looking good. The scout sits flush with the centre height so I can't really help, I can measure as best I can to the side but it wouldn't be perfect. I'm sure someone with a UC will be along soon. Nice to see the rear plate is a touch taller as it should be, allows the lid to be flush once down on the sides.

Thanks matey... Ideally a UC owner would be best. Just plodding on doing jobs on the thing, will be adding the ME stowage brackets when the time comes.

Rich, do you have the holes in your rear armour already?

O.K. then, as a double check on Rick's, the top hole (box mounting angle) centre is 3/4" down from the top edge of the box (not the lid) Hope that helps.
