    I decided that a good way to fix the cubby box in place would be clips to anchor points: in the rear, to to the cover plate above the transfer box and in the front, to the seat base.

    Here's the rear anchor point.

    Once the vinyl covering was on, the toggle latch could be attached to the rear with wee bolts, before the insulation and lining for the coolbox were installed.

    The front toggle latches went on last of all, when everything was finally lined up in the vehicle.

    The exterior finish came along nicely and indulged my growing penchant ​for toggle latches.

    I like it! And I think it may be an option for mine down the track.

    Thanks mate. I'll be happy to send you the drawings if I can find them....

    The aluminium lining came out pretty nicely. It makes for a nice water-tight compartment for when I might want to use the cubby box as a small esky and also give the whole thing a lot more rigid strength (I can stand on it if I want to). A rubber seal around the top and it's all set.

    It's worked out as a pretty useful sort of cubby box and keeps things cold quite well when on esky duties. It fits well with the rest of the re-fit of the interior and one really good thing is how easily it can be removed, if ever I don't want it there for whatever reason.

    The re-fit sea trials are coming to an end. It's time to whip out the overdrive and strip it. It's only done 1500 miles since being rebuilt, but there are a few more modifications to be incorporated which I didn't quite get to do before the vehicle hit the frog and I also want to check the wear on the clutch sleeve splines.

    Details in the thread I started on the overdrive about two thousand years ago, soon to be resurrected....

    Whilst I'm reviewing various modifications or tweaks which came along in the re-fit, it's worth providing technical data on the performance of the insulated cubby box. It appears to be performing well as per specifications.
