Charlie, at the next boot sale coming near you, look for the A/B switch
boxes for switching between printers and serial ports and the like. Some are
roughly the size you're asking about and you just have to make a new front
and rear panel for them. (They ARE steel, and a bear to work with) As an
alternative, I have some extruded Aluminum boxes 1/8 th inch wall that are 6
wide by 8 deep by 1-3/4 high. Open front and back but internal ribs for
sliding in a couple PC boards and tapped on the ends for 4-40 bolts for
holding on front and rear panels. If you can live with the reduced height,
one is yours for the postage.

Harold,
I know the steel boxes you refer to, similar new ones are quite
cheap in the UK. Thank you very much for your kind offer! I think
that your box would be hard to work with as the height is much the
same as the LCD counter I want to use! In fact I have located some
enclosures very similar to the ones you have.
Thanks again!
Charlie.
