I'd be interested to know the part numbers of the struts too if you can get them.

Nice idea for the locks. Waste not want not. Wink
What are you using for opening them from the outside?

Hi-ace struts should be quite easy to find in a scrappers anytime. Do you have dimensions for the uprights with the bend as was looking into making one for a Single cab pick up, just trying to work out material costs and dimensions, might try to do an ally one ? Are you planning on keeping the floor bracing from the demountable as it seems it would make it very heavy or are you removing it at a later date ?
