Hi Hungry,
Well mate here we go the stand i formed it from some plastic out of a old tv case. The rectangular piece measures 215x45 mm. having 50 mm each side that sits on the ground. How i formed it was with a heat gun starting from the outside and bending a right angle at 50mm. I find if you put a piece of say masonite either side at 50mm. in a vice and when it becomes pliable and droopy hold it at that shape and poor cold water over it till it becomes ridged. The curved center piece i used a piece of galvanised pipe to get the curve again when you get it right cure it with cold water. and the same with the other side. I used the original bolt to put it back on with and 2 small nuts and bolts each side to stop it turning.
The control box cover i just cut a piece out of it a bit bigger than the battery door glued a bit of velcro top and bottom and found an old vinyl pouch with velcro attached for the removal door and as you can see in the photo you can leave it on the bottom and open the battery door. The piece is 90mmx35mm.
