Default Pelican case

to use as a top box - I figure my top box may be a bit flimsy.

really rugged in the event of an off. Drill some holes in the bottom, fashion some brakets & behold - a cheap top box....hopefully! ;o)

It's not technically "Bike Kit" & it's got the bonus of being much cheaper than bmw/touratech/metal mule etc...

Use these all the time for transporting camera kit around, bloody good kit. Completely waterproof as long as the rubber seal is still in pace as well.

When I say completely waterproof, I mean I've seen them dropped in a lake and sink, when fished out the contents were still dry...

Of course, drilling big holes in the bottom may invalidate this claim...

I've done the research & apparently it does invalidate any claim.....

I have a Peli 1300, probably not big enough for a top box great size for video camera and stuff.

We're UK suppliers of Peli cases, and I get a 27% discount. Want me to check a few prices for you on a new one?

Yeah - if you could! I'm probably looking at something around the 1500/1600 range.

Thanks

This any good to you?





That is a Peli 1500.

Internal dimesions 43.2cm x 29.0 cm

Lid depth 4.6cm

Base depth 10.9cm

These retail at 112 quid

40 quid do you?

Plus whatever it costs to post to you, unless you want to collect
