Ideas for manufacture out of sheet steel

Post by Jabbawocky » Tue Feb 07, 2017 3:26 pm

hi all
A mate has recently invested in a computer controlled plasma cutter and I will be using him to cut lots of bits for the products I make. He has tasked me with finding Land Rover related parts, signs, boot scrapers, etc that he can cut and make available to Land Rover enthusiasts. This is his business, so they need to be things that will sell. If anyone has any images of anything, let me know?

I'm sure I have seen loads of stuff, but when you want to find it!!!!

Cheers Mick

Some ideas from me

Lightweight chassis to body brackets for seat belts:

Lightweight under bonnet tool box:

Under bonnet oil can holders:

I think you do everything else that I can think of (Carawagon jerrican holders and toolboxes) and there are quite a few already doing the under middle seat tool tray, rear brake pipe brackets
Not everything has to be big!

How about a deeep locker/storage box to replace the second fuel tank on ex military vehicles?

It would provide much needed extra stowage in a rag top motor.

I usually cut the top off a knackered tank but something made to fit close to the seat box would be both fab AND groovy.
To infirmary and beyond!
