With the scout lock box installed, is there storage space between the top of the scout and the bottom of the armrest? I was looking to pickup the mini but that's out of production, I'd like to be able to store random crap in the armrest but not necessarily store in a locked fashion.
Any update on this? Thanks, patiently waiting.Just an update since not everyone gets my newletters...
So my hopes and dreams were dashed when the metal shop didn't meet my deadline of shipping by Halloween. This one, turns out, to be my fault. Plain and simple, I ordered the incorrect hinges. The ones I got had a pin diameter that was too thick which made the knuckle too thick which pushed the lid forward which pushed the lock basket forward which pushed the locking cam out of adjustment. Unfortunately the metal shop had already welded the locking baskets onto the lids and the lids to one side of the hinges. When they went to weld the opposite end of the hinge onto the box is when they noticed there was a tolerance issue.
The fix is they could drill out all of the spot welds, machine off the difference on the lid and re-weld. But that would have looked pretty terrible and then the hinges would go thru another heat cycle. So instead I reordered the correct hinges and had the shop remake the lids and locking baskets because all in all it will take less time and money to just start those over. Luckily it wasn't on the box end. My new goal is to ship out before Thanksgiving. I'm really sorry about this folks. I did try hard to get these done in time.
Last batch of Scout LockBoxes are done and off to the powder coaters. From there it goes to laser etching and then packaging and shipping. I am hopeful that these will all start shipping by end of next week.
For what it’s worth, there are only 15 left out of this last batch. Once gone...gone. I won’t be running anymore LockBoxes because I’m trying to save what little hair I still have on my head
