    engine oil containers also . there's a guy that uses it instead of kydex for knife sheaths on youtube . and a friend uses HDPE chopping boards for sump guards on his rally and enduro motorbikes. he does work with plastics and has the tools to modify the chopping boards for the job.

    purpose made ones are pricey http://mattpopemotorcycles.co.uk/sho...v=79cba1185463

    Yep I'm aware of that Mick.
    My current supplier is being a bit tricky (Lidl), they've changed the design of the containers and they now have a few more lumps and bumps in them
    All sorted, just had to be a little creative .

    I went into Lidl today for a bottle of champagne. It's only £17.99 and we're gonna compare it to the Tsarine we normally get.
