Spare parts stowage - do it yourself hide-away

[bighly]

I made a handy widget giving me a bit of extra storage space for small parts/oil filter what-have-you for my BT7. I am sure this would work on other cars since this unused deadspace is available. Using a tobacco tin with a lid as a basis for a mold, I made a removable storage cubby with fiberglass.

I can remove this for shows. I can fit a spare cap, rotor, points, wires (not prewired). Or a oil filter, points etc. And I now also have blocked off the hole so I can place a small bag of items in the cubby above. I use ziplocks to keep it all high and dry.

Pretty nifty gizmo. I am still finding cubby holes to stash my spare parts.

Ok I figured out this add photo thing. I think.

You guys do know that they make these waterproof storage bins many sizes for small boats. Think there is one at 4" and 6" to suit your needs.

That's a very neat arrangement and a clever idea...

Ain't fiberglass fun.....I just discovered it.

Carbon fiber would be neat to play with also.

A Tupper cake holder fits perfectly under your spare tire.
