That looks *exactly* like the box my Balun Designs choke balun is mounted in! I've also had good luck using Tupperware-type containers found at the grocery store, or plastic storage boxes found at Lowe's and Home Depot. I'm just finishing re-installing my HF vertical, and I used a plastic box from Home Depot to mount the SGC-230 inside of. 73, Jim KQ6EA

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can

I used one of these for years. A diplexer and the same preamp fit inside, and I used bulkhead female to female connectors to connect through the side of the box, and a brass bolt for DC.
