Here are the pictures of the toolbox I made vs. spending over $100 for one from kubota. I added some text to the pictures that halfway explainhow I did it.

<DIV> Do you remember what size you had to cut the plate. I was going to use aluminum, being I have alot of .080 sheets in my shop for the sign industry. .080 is the thickness of a Stop Sign, or Speed Limit / directional signs the state makes us use >>>> </DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
 
I basically took a piece of 1/8" alunimum plate that would extend from the edge of the cable bracket to the tubing that runs across the front. Width is about the length of the box. I am sure .080" alunimum plate would work fine but you may have to add a leg to the corner opposite the mounting bracket. It depends on what you will have in the box.
