How to use that rear space in my 130 HCPU

Those latches are the perfect solution for something that's been bugging me for ages, anyone know where to get some?

2stroke, try Universal Engineers Supplies, under fasteners, then over centre fasteners.They will mail/ courier stuffout with a phone/Credit card order. They have heaps of useful stuff. Make sure the size of what you're ordering is right for the job,sometimes the photos can be decieving. Don

You mean they didn't fold as standard?
Mine is set up so the rear seats fold. Seat box has tup access and also a drawer in the box that takes up half of the seat box. I keep things like the first aid kit and toilet roll in the drawer so it can be got at with ease. I store things like jumper cables in the other part.

I bought my 130 second hand and did not realise that the seats are not supposed to fold forward as mine does this, can be a pain off road because they keep on flopping forward.

with reference to the seat box if you reinforce the front with welded box section why could you not just make the front flap down giving access with a draw system that would be bloody useful if you ask me, i have thought about it but as i am still working on the running gear i haven't got round to reconfiguring the interior wouldn't mind a couple of td5 front seats and a fridge in the middle !!!
any thoughts appreciated

I am in the process of getting a ss water tank made up to fit under there, storage is not an issue as i have draws and the fridges in the tub. I like it as a water tank location as it is central to the vehicle and hopefully the storage box will be strong enough to bolt it down. Just a bit nervous drilling into the side of the rig for the filler port:eek::eek::eek:.

Mate, been pondering a drawer in the tub - can we get a peak at your set up?

Here is a preliminary drawing I did for a friend to fit cooker and storage drawer under the back seat. I know he changed some of the dimensions but hope this gives you some ideas. It slides out from both sides on drawer tracks. I think he made it out of 2mm aluminium.
