Hi everyone. I own a Boss Modulator seat box that has given me great service over the past few years. However, the hinges / clasps are now becoming worn and tend to come undone unnecessarily. Does anyone know where I can obtain some replacements please? I believe this seat box is the same as a Daiwa Tournament so would assume hinges / clasps would also fit? Thank you in advance

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Thanks for that info. They may just do the job? However, should I need to replace all 8 sets it would cost in excess of £150 🤤

Thanks for the info. Thinking along the same lines I've been trawling the internet and thinking possibly that Milo hinges may do the job? I may order a couple and see if they will do the job. In the meantime I've found someone selling a complete box so was thinking I'll buy that as a 'donor' and hope some of the hinges will be in good condition. I'll have some other spares to hand too. 👍

Evening all. Just an update. As I couldn't locate suitable replacement clasps / hinges for my Boss Modulator seat box I thought I'd experiment with the one's fitted. These clasps should not wear out, as such, but become loose over time. Now what I did was to remove the top part of each clasp and, holding in a pair of pliers, held each over one of the rings from our gas cooker. Being careful not to get too hot, or melt them, I held them in position until they became supple then, using another pair of pliers, gently bent them inwards slightly and held in position until they cooled down naturally. Once refitted with new black pop rivets they were perfect and taught in use. Just thought I'd post this as it may help others who are experiencing the same problem. Tight lines and seat boxes.

Brilliant it's nice when you can fix something Rather than chucking it .There's replacements out there but you need the time and the exact search term to find them .Some Chinese company will be knocking them out by the million for something totally unrelated you just have to use the phrase to describe them like they are using .

I was looking for for something or other for months without success using searches for what I thought it was called then Spotted something very similar on a web page image search and searched what they called it and there it was ,cant remember what it was I spend many hours looking for something I need like a plug that goes a different angle than the norm for what I am trying to make and am puzzled why it's only me looking for it !

AH I remember I have been experimenting using a 18650 welding machine trying to turn it into a jewellery welder but needed to make a new finer annode I I made one from a Tig welder head with a 1mm tungsten rod but needed to make the output leads removable as the fitted ones were soldered to the PCB .Looked for hours for some sort of chassis connector that could take 8 guage wire without success nothing I found could handle the amps then it was there under my nose the fitting used for welders (told you it was under my nose) so have bought a set from AliExpress and waiting for them to arrive I was going through page after page of connectors but they didn't pop up using the search terms I was using DOH
