Replacement Rack Case

[BigRedX]

My otherwise trusty 3U EMS case which I have been using for about 30 years got damaged at the last gig and the plastic part of one of the end lids that the latch grips onto has broken off which means then end is no longer securely held in place during transit.

 

I was going to enquire if it was possible to buy a replacement 3U lid, but I can't find any trace of the company on-line. So maybe no is the time to look for an alternative. Also I could do with one extra U for a future upgrade to our live playback system.

 

Can someone recommend me a suitable 3U or 4U (ideally), no bigger as space is at a premium for transport, lightweight rack case with both removable ends and top.

 

Must have rack mounting fixtures back and front and be between 40cm and 48cm between the back and front with the lids removed. 

 

I would prefer a heavy duty plastic case for reasons of weight.

 

What do you recommend?

I just bought a couple of these and I'm very happy with them.

Thanks. Unfortunately the top doesn't come off as well as the ends, which is requirement for me.

 

For clarity here's a shot which shows how I have the current rack case configured.

Ah, my bad, I missed that crucial bit.

No problem.

 

Perusing Thomann's selection of cases did point me in the direction of what could have been a suitable alternative. Unfortunately on checking the measurements it's much too big.
