Hey guys, i recently got inspired in the Queensland section when i noticed 1C3B3RG made his cai box with insulation.

Always wanted to do it but didnt have the time, last week i gave it a crack with my old man and it turned out really well, better than we thought.
I went down to Bunnings and got myself 0.5mm aluminum sheet and insulation sheet from Clark rubber.
Got home and made myself a cardboard diagram to make sure i get the right measurements etc. After about 15min of playing with it i got a perfect cut for the side. If you have piping thats similar to my setup you may want to put insulation sheet in the gaps here to reduce the heat coming in. For example:
I then traced it onto the aluminum sheet and cut it away with tin snips.
I also put protective rubber on the edges which u could also get from Clark rubber, just protects it from scratching surroundings and also makes it look neater. Example:
Once it was in and sitting perfect, i sized out the top cover and did the exact same steps. Once that was done i pop riveted them together so it was complete. Then to finish it off i cut out the insulation sheet to the right shape and glued it on with heat resistant glue which i also purchased from Bunnings.
