RN seat box covers? - Scarlet O'Hara - 21-06-2023 Sorting out a few bits on my RN Box and came across this picture that shows what looks like a plywood cover under the seat covering the space below and the battery box. I'm guessing it's just a lift out panel but does anybody have originals they could measure up or post some  photos?     RE: RN seat box covers? - Reckless Rat - 21-06-2023 PM sent with photo and dimensions RE: RN seat box covers? - David Cochrane - 21-06-2023 I think repros are available from Oxfordshire Sevens. Do you know if the originals were painted or plain/stained/varnished wood? RE: RN seat box covers? - Hugh Barnes - 21-06-2023 The originals on my RP (which I assume are the same as those shown) are plain wood.. RE: RN seat box covers? - Malcolm Parker - 22-06-2023 I had some original ones which had a matt black paint finish. RE: RN seat box covers? - Mike Costigan - 22-06-2023 I'm pretty sure all three of my RKs had matt black ones, too. RE: RN seat box covers? - Scarlet O'Hara - 22-06-2023 Hi and thanks for all the replies, I wasn't sure if they were a factory fitted original or just something made up by the owner. Presumably with the seat down they don't rattle around and fall out? Thanks also for photo and sizes sent by Reckless, looks simple enough to make but I've a bit to do before I get round to them. RE: RN seat box covers? - Lowespeed - 22-06-2023 I think Howard Annette had some new ones for sale at last years Beaulieu. Don't know if he's coming this year and could bring some RE: RN seat box covers? - Reckless Rat - 22-06-2023 Home made, but do the job: The one on the battery side has a 6v to 12v converter to run an USB socket for phone charging etc (hence the switch)
