Hi Callum,

Nice find, well done.

I got these a while ago when there only used to be six or seven items for sale on the Bay Of Glee.

The one on the right is going to have the mounting bracket reversed to fit under the offside rear wing, after being painted, Hiya Rod :D .

I already have one under the bonnet which I picked up on the Bay Of Glee a few years ago for GBP£8.00, one sold on the Bay this past week for GBP£83.00 :o

Regards, Norman.

I've found the under wing boxes are the hardest to find! I'm after an under bonnet tool box if anyone knows anyone with one ? Cheers

Hiya Rod :D ,

I wouldn't have fitted that one on to "Sarge", it would have been given pride of place in the house on display :D .

That was "The Mother Of All Toolboxes".

Do these boxes fit any Lwt then because someone gave me a decent one which I haven't done anything with yet?
Thanks

Hi Stu,

The toolboxes fit all Lightweights, however you may have to trim the rear wheel arch or bend for it to fit nicely.

Regards, Norman.
