I got the Norm Box and was very impressed. It is built very nicely and very stout. Here is a picture of the inside of the Norm Box.
As you can see the metal forming on the bottom is first rate. And all the stock holes and punchouts are there as well.
Here is a picture of the assembled box with dimensions of the metal. Believe me, this thing is stout!
The corners are formed nicely, the rear light mounting bracket is substantial as are the hold-down ears. He is no longer sending these units out painted red. It seems that his powder coater was not consistent when it came to replicating Cub Red. So when you get your battery box from Norm, it will be in primer as shown. But primer is fine with me since the '51 is Maroon rather than Cub Red.
As soon as I can find the brochure that Norm sent along with the box, I will post his new email address. Speaking of lessons, this box cost $90 ($102 with shipping to Texas), but it is well worth it to me. The piece of eBay junk was an embarrassment and would have irritated me every time I saw it in my tractor.
BTW He was a very nice guy to deal with. So if all you need is a top or front, you might talk to him about getting just those pieces.
