Looking for a 5u Shallow rack SKB style case

[jazzyvee]

Unable to find any of this size. Any pointers. Preferably from UK seller. Something like this. New or used.

I suspect that the 5U height specification might be the sticking point. IME ready-made light-weight plastic racks tend to come in multiples of 2 or 3 units depending on the brand. The only ones I have seen that don't conform to this are custom-made plywood with aluminium cladding rack cases which are much heavier. You may have to go for 6U to get something suitably light-weight.

If you need the moulded ABS styling then you might be out of luck.

I was hoping that might not be the case, though I suspect you are right. I will go for lightweight 6 if I have to.

I'm pretty sure that SKB model is 3U (I have two and they are). Not made any longer AFAIW.
