ute tray building parts

[4.8GU]

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone on here can point me in the right direction to find parts for building a tray.
I am looking for things like tray dropsides and hinges etc. Over centre latches for the sides and such.

I am having massive dramas finding anyone on the net with options.

The latches try bunnings, Your tray sides work out your dimensions,And go to a sheetmetal place and they can cut/fold your sides for you then bit of flat at each of the ends for bracing and to mount your catches on, Have a look in a carpark at a tray thats how its done

Try here: http://www.ovesco.com.au/ for over center latches etc

Also try here: http://www.smallparts.com.au

Might take you a year to find what you want.

Engineering hardware places normally have latches. As for the sides, go to sheet-metal or fabrication place and they can bend to your specs.

I build ute trays ,trailers alloy boxes and canopys and I buy my gear from a place called UES International www.uesint.com 02 8787 6500 they have a office in every city. Sometimes not the cheapest but find them help full and the freight is fast .

Thanks guys I new I could go and get em folded up at an engineering shop, (my old man has one and could easily do this) but it is often cheaper/easier when a place specializes and does them all the time etc. Thought there may be a company that did this sort of stuff all the time someone might know of.

I have seen a lot of different hinge and pin designs and some look ok some look very agricultural/shit.
