Storage Ideas wanted
 

Okay, I posted this question on the General discussion section and no one responded so I’ll try my luck here. :(

Maybe it is a stupid question but everybody’s gotta learn some how! :confused:

I want to put a couple storage boxes in the engine compartment but don’t know what kind to get or how to secure them.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Here is a picture of what I did. They work pretty good and functional also.

Wow, that looks awesome, Steel!

I assume that is polished aluminum diamond plate?

How is it secured? Did you use a urethane glue of some sort?

No the bottom piece is screwed to the fiberglass with the screws for the hatch actuators. Then I just used self drilling screw to hold the vertical boxes and dividers. Worked out great.

Did you have that storage box made or did you buy it that way?

Nice job and great idea:)

I work at a metal fabricator. I did the drawings then we fabricating them in the shop. The only problem is you have too take out a lot of stuff to install them.

The Outlaw came with one storage box already in the engine compartment. I LOVE yours though. Looks GREAT! Good job.

I wish that I had room for them in the 342.
My old Force 320 had tons of room in the engine
compartment and lots more storage.

I bought an aluminum tray out of a Summit racing catalog and screwed it to the floor of the engine room. I holds all my fluids and works awesome. It is a 12quart tray. Be sure to tie down the bottles of fluids though;)

Where can you get the diamond plate like that, and can you bend it in a regular brake?

It was bent in a 20 tons hydraulic press break. You can get the diamond plate at any steel or aluminum service center.

By the way I have drawings of these if anyone wants them.

Yes, I would like a set. what I currenty have keeps breaking. My direct e-mail is [email protected]. Thanks

Steelware, can you e-mail me drawings as well?
Thanks,
