I mask up all the inner legshields then position where I want it to fit, basically as high as it will go and still sit inside the shape of the leggies. Hold it in position and trace round it with a marker pen. It'll most likely be miles out from being a flush fit so you have to trim / file / dremmel it to fit. Wherever the box makes contact with the leggies you have to remove some material from that spot, never remove more than one mm at any one time. The outline on the masking tape ensures that each time you remove some material and reposition it, you're always putting back in the exact same position. As you remove material the gaps should get increasing smaller until you've got it more or less flush all the way around. When I got to that point I traced around the inner lugs at the bottom inside the toolbox so I could drill the holes through the leggies but out of sight under the mudguard. Then bolted it on so I could mock up the top brackets that need pop rivetting to the leggies [much easier with the leggies off the scoot]. If I did it again I'd probably use bolts instead of the rivets. It's a slow process removing the material to make it fit but at most should only take 2 or 3 hours of trial and error. Possibly the most useful thing I've ever fitted.
cheers mate thats made it alot clearer...... :P
got round to having a look last week found the rubber round the outside pain to get it to shape :roll:

You might have four brackets on the toolbox and two loose ones.

If its like that then you offer it up and mark where the brackets line up to.

For the lower ones you drill a couple of holes straight through which should attach with bolts behind the mudguard.

In the case of mine I for the top I had two L shaped brackets I had to rivet to the legshield on either side of the tubes. A screw slotted into the bracket and through the upper box bracket held on with a nut.

They sometimes need a bit of pushing and pulling to get on so fit the rubber and tape it firmly in place with masking tape so it stays put while your skinning your knuckles....
Thanks for that mate great help

Here the Jet200 glove box I put on my DL ;) easy to adjust because it is in plastic ( like the petrol cap and horncasting grill...) the shape is fine and just need attention for the door.
