Coming along really nicely, looking forward to see how this progresses, might even steal a few ideas for if I ever get round to building mine!
Thanks!

Next decision is what type of hinge and where it'll be located. I'm thinking hinged on drivers side, so that access is from passenger side. I think a simple gate type hinge with an R clip will do nicely. That way its a quick job to get the lid off for using the trailer for tip runs etc.

I also have an idea about adding mounting points for a tarp on the opening side of the lid, so that when its open I can attach the tarp to have a covered area to cook under.

Decided to go for bolt on hinges.

Will make up the box section frame for the lid and see how these offer up.
