arm rest / storage box

[judd750]

made a new arm rest storage box View attachment 4258 what do you think ?

 

[judd750]

View attachment 4260 just took the existing lid off, built a box out of 18mm ply covered it in trim fabric,
and the fixed lid back on

Can you still sit with your arm on it comfortably?

 

[judd750]

yes , it was too low before.
plus i wanted more storage space for sunglasses etc

 

[bry]

It now needs a refrigeration unit in it.Lol.

 

[judd750]

i made it out of some scrap 18mm ply wood that i had,

you need 2 pieces 150mm x 150mm ( front and back )
2 pieces 150mm x 160mm,( sides ),
you can make it shorter than 150mm if you want

screw it together to make a rectangle box (with no top or bottom)
stick some trim fabric on ( using spay glue ) you can get this from flebay

remove lid from arm rest,
place your new " box" in place, fix with a couple of metal brackets straightened out,
finally put existing lid back on using the same screws

love it. :clap One thing that bugs me on these is no arm rest. And what's there is too low :doh
Inside it's full of melted sweets 2p's and fuses from previous owner. It does'nt get used.

Thats great:thumb2. Think i could do one similar for the Trol as my armrest is too low. I shall investigate tommorow

 

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

miss the trolls box, as well as wider was deeper, could stand fire extingusher in it.

 

[judd750]

you could make one any size you want,
it did n`t take long to make

[zippy656]

top opening one

 

[kitchenman]

I am going to fix mine by screwing a piece of 15mm MDF to the bottom of the fridge that is a force fit to the opening of the box and taper the sides so it just sorta plugs in:clap
