I have always wanting to have a toolbox to store tire repair tools such as the Raid boxes and its likes but the cost is not acceptable to me. So, finally, I found something that fits my budget.
Box: 210 x 165 x 85 mm external dimension. It is very similar to a Pelican case but is something I bought off the internet for around US$10.
Modifications: I thought it was best to install a couple of L brackets to both sides of the Box. I choose the Blind Rivets to install these brackets to the Box. I made these L brackets from a 1.5mm Al sheet metal. They are easy to bend but there should be off the shelf L brackets that are stronger.
The Link brackets were also made from the same 1.5mm Al but they are flimsy and one of it was replaced by a off the shelf bracket.
Tools Required: 10mm Drill bits, 4.5mm drill bits (sized for the Blind Rivets), Vice Clamps, Metal Saw (for sawing the Al sheet).
