Lookign good mate. Did you not like the MK one? I'm just about to buy one so would be interested if there's owt not quite right about it as not seen one yet.

no, it is jsut £85 and not a lot of room. and i had the alu from when i done my interior. so i throught i would give it a go.

i think i got a picture of a mk boot box some where i will have a look.

Unfortunately my fabrication skills aint that great but I've made a cardboard airbox to get done in Alu so might have a crack at a boot box in cardboard too and get them to do that. I wonder what the weight difference is like?

looks realy good, i used one of those cheap under bed plastic boxes that i found in woolworths. But mine was adifferent size, but still cheap.

Looks great, has inspired me to get on with mine... one of the post SVA mods that's not done 2 years after SVA!

Looking good.
Just a quick point for SVA - my Inspector wants me to fit covers on the upper seat-belt mounting plates as they are to the rear of the passenger compartment and thus need to be minimum radius or covered.
Cheers, Pewe

Did you have a brake to do such nice bends in the ally? Nice job by the way.
