Proton Pack Charging Station

OK so I was watching Frozen Empire the other day and I came across this scene where the proton packs are being placed in to a steel mesh locker and on the sides are these electrical junction boxes that are shown as proton charging stations that connect directly to the cyclotron.

The hooks are easy enough, a 2x4 and some steel j-hooks with some hex cap bolts is all I'd need for that but I need to try and identify the base junction box and the heat sinks that are on the box itself. I've seen only one fan made box but why buy one when I'd rather build it myself. But first I need to track down the real world parts

So I'm throwing my self to you the community to track down whatever parts I can.
 
So I found all the parts

Eris Adaptable Box, 190mm x 145mm x 70mm, Black, IP66

Iluminated Red Toggle: Halfords Mini Flick Switch On/Off Illuminated Red (HEF591)

Large Heatsink: SPREADFAST Heatsink, 1/2 Brick DC/DC Converter, 61 x 57.9 x 17.3mm

Small Heatsink: SPREADFAST Heatsink, 1/4 Brick DC/DC Converter, 58 x 37 x 11mm

Red Rocker Switch: RS PRO SPST, On-Off Rocker Switch Panel

Orange Light: Apem Orange Panel Mount Indicator, 12V dc, 10mm Mounting Hole Size, Lead Wires Termination

Antenna: RF Solutions ANT-2WHIP2RA-SMA Stubby WiFi Antenna with SMA Connector, WiFi

But there's a hiccup. None of these parts are available outside of the UK.
 
The electrical parts are pretty generic. You can find equivalents on Digi-key. Get the British datasheet to make sure the dimensions are correct when finding alternates. They won't be the right brand, but they'll be undetectable in the final prop.

Good idea, however I have a guy in the UK I sent this to so he can help me out.
 
I'm down for building this too. Great job loacting the parts so far. I'm in the UK.

Is that front-on image the fan-made one? I'm guessing it is.
 
Yes that front on view is a fan made one
I have since found it while looking for parts.

I’ve located and priced them up, but will see what alternatives are on Farnell, as I prefer them. Will definitely make it after I finish my current project in the next few weeks. May even add a sound board.

Thank you for posting it.
