SANo 15 Transit Chests - Research and Restoration - the story so far..

[MrBaxter]

I have the hinges and turnbuckles all made up and shipping from the UK already. Could have saved you the CAD time setting up a laser cut run.
The trade rates we offer are OK.

We have thousands of correct to era vintage British screws on the shelf. I bought out a lot from an old stockist a while back.

Turnbuckles are getting tricky.

Turnbuckles are getting tricky.

Not cheap but readily available - they became a standard part used on a land Rover, they are the Land Rover series I, series IIA & series III "Seat Box Lid Hasp". Going from memory the Land Rover part number is 334525.

Edit - yes it is.
Available here at GBP £10 inc tax.

It's worth buying the old fashioned slotted wood screws when you see them if the price is right. When a local ironmongers was having a "closing down sale" 10 to 15 years ago no-one seemed to want the slotted wood screws and so I was able to purchase virtually the entire remaining stock of old fashioned wood screws at a very good price.

When a "vintage type item" that should really have "slotted type" wood screws fitted has been fitted with "Pozi/Philips" head wood screws, it is remarkable how quickly some people point out the fact, often in a very irritating manner.
