Hi Tom
I can certainly send you accurate measurements and lots of photos of the Mk I box. If you want this, PM me with your e mail address. However if you can borrow one that would be better as then the fabricator will get all the returns and the construction correct. In addition, if memory serves me correctly, the hinges on the British and Canadian versions are different. The latches are castings, Ben Hawkins used to make these. cheers Rick

Thank you to both Rick's,
I have a fabricator which could copy one, so I would gratefully copy the one you have Mr Wedlock. I quite fancy trying to make one, but I imagine I would need a sheet metal folder? What's the difference between the English and Canadian versions? Cheers, Tom

Rick,
I have some sketches and photos I took of the box on my Canadian MK2* for Petr Brezina when he was looking to make a box. If these would help let me know and I'll email them to you. I will have my Carrier at War & Peace all week if anyone wishes to take measurements.
