Ideas for storing tools and recovery gear in my 110 please..
« on: January 16, 2007, 15:24:15 »
Cheaper the better really.

Was thinking about getting a tin box (not sure where from - maybe army surplus) and screwing that to the floor in the back. However, i would quite like to able to remove it a bit easier than having to empty it and unscrew it!

Basically i need to store stuff so when im off road or in an accident people dont get hurt by a flying socket set etc.

Anyone got any good ideas ?

Thanks

Ringo

Does your 110 have load securing rings? If not y not fit some and then just use a big plastic box with a clip on lip (about £2 from poundstretcher) and then bungie this the the floor.

Or if you want something similar but a little longer-lasting, ratchet straps (any hardware place) and something like the Wolf boxes (quite a few of the online places do them). Would probably take a whole lot more loading and a fair bit more bashing about too ;)

I have found a tool bag to work well if you strap it down it hold all the tools together so does not rattle about.
 I have just one bench in the back of the 90 the other side the tools so the floor is free.

in my 90 I built a wooden box the same 'footprint' as the wheel arch. then faced it with chequer plate. Bolted it down using rivnuts(x6). One man job to take it out if needed and only about 10 mins.

went to army surplus store and i got a real strong fibre glass/plastic box (a fat git like me can stand on it) with a meatal lid and its the perfect size to fit between the wheel arches and holds all your gear safe secure and out of sight
not bad for £10

Did the same in my 110, I jave a elastic cargo net which I can attach to the 4 floor rings (Got it from B&Q Very Cheap!). It worked when my 110  lay on it's side for a rest at whaddon. The plastic box stayed put with the contents. How ever everything in the driver and passenger seat pockets when airbourne. I have a load of bugoes which i use when the net is in use on the roof rack and they seem to work well too!
