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.

Thanks gents, I had my hole drilled in the wrong place on the angle bar, I re positioned it to the 3/4" which then set my height to 4.5" for the box wall.

Good news is my 1:1 card template was correct (phew)

actually once I really looked at the box in detail it has quite a lot going on, not as easy a fabrication as it looks.
keep up the good work

Does anyone have the dimensions for the number plate ?
