Not being able to find a suitable storage trunk/suitcase/ box I decided to design and get one made. (fortunately I have access to a factory that manufactures mobile vending units) The trunk has a very strong welded aluminium angled internal frame to which is bonded a composite material called Dibond which is 2 layers of Pre painted aluminium with a polythene core which gives a superb finish and is extremely durable. Because the trunk blocks the High level brake light on my Roadster we have designed a stainless steel bracket that acts to locate the trunk onto the rack and also hold the additional High Level Brake light, this can be simply removed from the trunk. We modified the rack by removing the bottom retaining foot which can be put back if required.
Once the trunk is located on the rack there are two fixing bolts inside the trunk so when the trunk is locked it is not possible to remove it without unlocking the trunk. The trunk can be fitted and removed within seconds.
So how much did it cost? well this one took quit a bit of trial and error to come up with quite a simple solution for fitting and removing quickly and it has probably tipped the £1,000 mark but if there was any demand I think we could produce the Trunk for about £450 +vat The light bracket and modification to the rack would be in addition to this Please message me if you want any additional information
