Charlie , I have seen (simple) aluminium enclosures of the approx size
you need at Maplin (Inverness). Including one with a black plasticised
cover. You can finish those yourself with Hammarite paint from a spray can.
Good luck with homebrewing the BITX20A

Frank,
I've looked at the aluminium boxes which look great for most
projects but I want something a bit stronger and professional
looking for the transceiver. Maplin also sell the Hammond range of
enclosures but their biggest is too small. Since posting I have
found a bigger range of the same style at Rapid Electronics and I
may go for one of these.
I'm pretty excited about building the BITX20A, my plan is to use an
LCD display using a 10 turn pot/varicap diode instead of a tuning
cap and I aim to bring the cost in at under £100.
Charlie.
