    Thanks Scott
     
  4. Greenwesty sent me some measurements and reference photos of his Westie Berlin buddy box a while back ready for me to make mine (if only my back would sort itself out so I can actually do it!). If you decide to go down the make your own route I can forward those on to you if you think they might help.

    I got some piano hinges of the correct width and also the black t-trim edging off eBay.

    I've also been re-laminating all my furniture and luckily have enough laminate left over to do my box so that it matches the rest of the van.

    Only thing I haven't been able to find is a popper/catch like that - I'm just going to use a pop stud the same as the westy curtain ties etc. use instead.

    Hope this is of some help.

    Nick...
