A company in Italy called Tuscany Leather has all sorts of stuff. I bought a briefcase and a carry-on luggage from them and am happy.

OMG !!! flares on the rear of a 356B what a horrible look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) .
I would be keen to do the same but want to build a custom rack from stainless tube that involves no drilling to fit,just a bit unsure how the rear vision will be?. If you fit a vintage trunk like this I guess you would need to find one that is reasonably waterproof surely ?. |

Ah . . . to live in Kalifornia.
Try to pull this off where I live and you'd arrive with all your stuff soaking wet. I'd need a waterproof Dry River bag like those used for rafting. Been raining here at least once everyday for the past week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

These look cool, a pair of the carry on hard bags would look awesome.
https://saddlebackleather.com/leather-luggage-hard In the q&a they do mention doing custom work, but might give you a lead... These guys look expensive, but they’re somewhat local... http://www.glaserdesigns.com/2014/05/13/fi...rari-mondial-4/ |

How about finding a trunk and having an upholsterer cut it down and wrap in leather... you’ll have all the hardware.

How nice? I was going to make some with my leftover vinyl by wrapping some appropriately fitting hard luggage I would find.
If you find some luggage I'm sure you can find an upholstery shop to wrap it for decent. If not come to my area and I can find a few for you. |

You can find all the hardware and fittings at Ohio Travel Bag. They're a little cheap looking for a 300SL but, should be fine on a 914. You'll have to bone up on your woodworking skills, leather stretching and polish up your brass tack hammer. You know sweat equity.....
