Title: tool trunk
Post by: Matt_H on July 16, 2005, 18:49:11

just got me a ground anchor from billing one of those metal tube things with 8 big pins that go through at angles... anyway it's probably a bit dangerous having it knocking around in the back so thought about seeing if I can find a tool trunk then I can get all the other kit in there..

I'm after smoething 42" wide to fit between the wheel arches and around 12" x 12" for the other two dimension (those aren't so critical though)

Any idea where I can get one on-line?

funnily enough a anchor have various size boxes, after people are back from billing i'm sure you will find others that have done various things

I know the anchor you have, got the same myself, but I'm able to store it under the rear seat, but if you dont carry anybody in the back of the motor you could leave it on the floor there, or load it up when you are going out laning/playing where it may be needed

being thick...but how do you store it under the rear seat in a disco?  I'm thinking of making a box out of either metal or wood, but if something can be had for a few quid I'd rather save the time to do other things ;-)

I want everything bolted down to a certain extent, I'll regret it when I have to do an emergency stop one day otherwise :(

Easy cut the disco in half and fit a 16" extension in :wink:

Odball disco, comes in handy for storage :wink:

There are a couple of sites that specialise in storage boxes, one was mentioned the other week on mud club, some interesting pics on the site might give you some ideas.

Dunno about online, but in the gun mags such things are quite common, a nice 4 gun cab should do the job?
