Purchased off EBay, "Super Cap Seal" click on picture of seal it has vender name $32.00 for 23ft. I have around $300.00 in aluminum. and $30.00 in hinge and locks. I already had the paint.
I post above a drawings of a weight bearing aluminum top weight 58lbs. click to enlarge...
So how do you like your FWC ? Probably a lot easier to set up than the RTT(solar tortoise). I hope you strip all the stuff off your M416 to make it light weight as possible. Or did you sell it @ west overland?
happy camping=brian
PS: Sorry the west overland has not started, still I screwed that up like having you married.

I stripped the M416 down and I'm hauling it to OvExPo. If it sells, great! I could use the money.

Please educate me.... why wouldn't that lid be strong enough to hold an RTT???

It needs thicker aluminum on the sides and top, see the above plans for a stronger top, which weighs up to 58lbs. I just needed security and dry contents. Thanks for your interest=brian
