3 army ammo boxes fit perfectly length ways in the boot next to each other. If you need to use the rear seats, pull the middle box out, the seats fold over and sit on the ammo boxes and away you go. My traffic cop police person said it is fine to rest the seat on the box as that is probably more substantial than the stand on the chair in the first place!

Dont have any pics i am affraid.

Not huge, but somewhere to keep shackle straps etc and easily removable if you need the whole boot with the seats folded............

Disco Matt built a similar type box a few years ago that I bought off him then sold to a mc member. Look in my gallery for photos. It was good but I couldnt use the back seats and being so big and useful I ended up filling it up with loads of stuff and couldnt lift it out!!!

If you make a box like this I would suggest you make 2 pieces that stick forward on the floor so when the seats are put in the normal being used position the seats lock the cage down so any off roading etc it stays in place and wont roll about in a worst case senario.
