[St] Parts question, "market research"

["Jeremy Witt" <Jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I discovered a few months ago that the bottom half of my factory top box
was riddled with cracks.  Since it bore much of the weight of the
left-side slide that preceded it becoming mine, so much that it twisted
the rear subframe counterclockwise a bit, and I have overloaded it more
than once, I'm not too surprised. 

 

I attempted Capt Serlick's solution of "welding" the plastic back
together.  Most of it is still welded, but some of the cracks are back.
Likely because I need some more practice ABS welding. 

 

Initially I looked into replacing the bucket itself and learned it was
about $450.  For laughs, I asked the price on the entire assembly, locks
and all, and it's just about $95 more than the lower alone.  My next
thought was: if I were to buy the entire assembly, could I sell the
parts I don't need?  

 

Would there be anyone looking for ST/Tiger factory top box latches, a
handle, a shiny new top half in the color of your choice, etc?  I could
make you a good deal!  :0) 

 

TIA,

Jeremy Witt
