Chris, I salvaged the battery box from the parts M925 near here, my intent was to use it as a tool box for the xm757, but it's all steel and very heavy compared to the aluminum used so extensively on the 757...if you can use it, its yours for $50 plus shipping (pick-up?). It does have some rust, but is in good condition.
