Did you place it there from a picture of an original one or just looked like the right place to put it ?? did you put it on the side or at the front ?

Well finished a small project today as I had a MK2 tool box and of course it is DIFFERENT than a MK1 . Luckily my friend had a MK1 bottom half so that I could get the dimensions to do the cutout on the side as well as welding up the bolt mounting holes and re drilling them as they were in a different spot as well.

So far this week I moved to the rear and installed the rear tool plate and most of the tools and brackets as well as the jack and block as well as the ration box and and tray. Also installed the rear convoy lamp. its starting to look more and more like a carrier

Looks great Dave.

Whereabouts did you get the strapping material. That is one item I have had issues trying to find. I can't see to find the stuff that matches the originals closely.

Jordan I purchased the rubber (2 and 3 ply) in sheets from Granger in the US, They have a great selection as well as all of the felt I needed to do the carrier as well.
