Excuse all the shite in the background. I’ve got a fairly big modular box in the pipeline. We use quite a lot of that extruded aluminium construction kit at work and I’ve syphoned off some scrap offcuts to build a box with variable width and a fold-down seat that can start small and expand up as my lad grows. I carry some pretty big crap on this bike but I’ve found the box is something it lacks for just throwing things onboard and not having to strap down. I’ll mount it up initially on my existing base board which is 450mm wide. The seat frame is those L shapes and can slide forwards or backwards, go either way round, angle is on lock-off hinges, it’s height adjustable and I’ll make a seat base that can also slide forwards to expand. It’ll also drop flat or come out completely. Using my existing base board the load space will be 850mm x 450mm plus angle at the front, but I think I might go wider. The frame determines the shape and holds it together, while the sides are held on with T-slot nuts and give it the stiffness, so I guess I’ll use a nice 9mm ply for durability.
