    L42 / L42A1 Transit Chest dimensions?

    I’m looking to have an L42A1 transit chest reproduced. I responded to an older thread (“Any L42 transit case owners? I need some help...” https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=68890&p=536328) but it doesn’t look like my inquiry moved it to the top of recent posts so I’m asking again.

    Most pics in the older threads no longer show up so I can’t see any diagrams/dimensions I did find a thread that listed the dimensions as 49 1/2"L X11" W X 4 1/2 D and constructed from 1/2" plywood.

    Can anyone confirm the above dimensions, and if possible provide dimensional drawings (similar to the No.4 Mk. 1 T schematics on the forums) that they could share with me?

    I would also like internal dimensions/locations for the divider pieces if you have them.

    Thanks much in advance.

    Ted

    DS Solutions Militaria was getting these chests remade but has never had them on the website.

    He is still having them made, and usually has one in stock. Shipping (even within the UKicon) is prohibitive due to the size
    its easier to sell from the militaria shows he attends ( Stoneleigh, Malvern, Kempton, Military Odyssey and other random shows )

    Ds Solutions also has all the metal work for sale separately in kit form ( not listed on his web site )
