Secure Storage Box

[katman]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone make secure storage box that clips to the seat anchorage points?

 

Someone at work said he thought there was a company in Manchester supplying one but I have been unable to find it by using Google.

 

Thanks

If it clips to the seat anchorage points, it's only going to be as secure as the car doors/windows, isn't it? Or am I smoking something funny? :lol:

Ah but if it locked to the seat mounts, and also locked the contents. An opportunity for a Manufacturer perhaps? After all with the number of MPV's presumably one box could be made with different fittings for the differing seat mounts.

Why is it you only notice bits you have missed after someone points them out!

 

Boggler is on the right wavelength. When I said "Clips to seat mounts" I did of course mean that would be how it would attach to the vehicle.

 

"SECURE" indicates that I want a lockable box and that it cant easily be removed as it would be locked in place.

 

Remember the old "Slide Mounts" for CB radios where you could easily remove the CB when not needed, or lock it in place when you didnt want it removing.

 

That is the sort of thing I am after only as a large box.

 

Regards

Just buy any suitable sized metal safe or locking box, two 10mm thread rawlhooks, two 10mm, wing nuts, two 10mm ID x 25mm OD washers and two compression nuts from a 15mm plumbing fitting.

 

You cut the rawlhooks back so there is around 3cm of thread left on the hook. You drill two 12mm holes in the strong box to match the spacing of the seat mounts. The rawlhooks hook under the seat mounting bars in the slots in the floor, the threaded part passes through the base of the secure box. You then put a plumbing compression nut over each thread where it acts as a spacer and allows the curvature of the rawlhook. You then put the normal washer and wing nut on each rawlhook and tighten it down.

 

The secure box cannot be removed without opening it to remove the wing nuts and it is as strong as the box and the floor mounting bracket.

 

All you have to do now is disguise or hide the box so some idiot does not break in to try and open it. Car carpet or a rubber mat works quite well. Or if you have a rear compartment cover, that is fine.

 

I use one for my laptop and in-car gizmos.

 

Then Ford do an under seat (driver or passenger) secure box for about

Thanks MrT

 

I had already thought of doing that but wanted to make sure I wasnt reinventing the wheel.

 

Like you I have some techie goodies that I would like to keep safe and sound.

Tried making one out of ceramics but it broke - a truly shatering experience :unsure:

 

Wood and tape not very good for security devices unfortunately.

I have a Mark 1 galaxy and we have a locking safe under the drivers seat, great for things like cameras or documents when you are camping. It was a Ford optional extra
