How did you attach your front tool box to the drawbar? We plan to store gas bottles in there too, how do you keep them in place? Pics would be good too :becky: On our 14 we had the gas bottles either side of the tool box but having them on the inside would be much neater 8-)

I used the original Gas bottle holder to hold one side down, and made a small clamp to go over the chassis rail on the other
I also put 1mm insertion rubber under the box on top of the chassis - to insulate as well as to stop chemical reaction between Alli and Steel

We did this...(see photo)
Ubolts underneath with big washers. Now have 10mm rubber in the base of the box (with holes for the bolt heads) to stop anything from rubbing or sliding.
Currently just have the gas bottles chocked so they dont move (not legal), but will put a long bolt across (or similar) to hold them down and be legal. Fixed the regulator to the back of the box.
Cheers, Jemmo
