I had a look at the pdf/cad files on Robotis' site and was able to determine the basic size for the chest mounts in the new premium kit (I think it was frames F51 and F52 - and the size was 66mm x 44mm x 90mm but that is from memory).
Knowing the basic sizes I was thinking of fabricating an aluminium bracket from scratch when I came across an aluminium box from Maplin that I thought may do the trick. The box is the LF10L and is 70mm x 33mm x 102mm.
Basically, I have removed the ends of the box, and mounted the two shoulder servos directly to the main part that forms the front, bottom and top. I did link the shoulder servos together using the CM510 so ensure that I could mount the processor onto the servos with the aluminimum back between them.
The main part of the box is connected to the hip servos using the two holes for the pivot point opposite the servo horn. I spaced these a little with two small gromets so the base of the aluminium box didn't bend. I didn't use accurate measuring to determine the servo holes but put double sided tape on the brackets and then just press fitted them to the servos. With the servos connected together using the CM510, I positioned the servo assembly into the box. When I removed it the brackets were stuck to the inside of the box and I drilled through the brackets to create the mounting holes.
It seems to be working well but enough waffle and words, this is what it looks like:
