I have under the bonnet a very nice storage locker. The “under bonnet storage locker” by MMC. Beautiful and… useful? idea

Useful…. Not really. It’s too small to put inside tools. And being under the bonnet, you can’t reach it fast and easy. I thought, when I ordered the 3-wheeler, that it would be the ideal box to keep gloves, a scarf, googles or whatever I may use for driving the superb machine. But it happens it’s not practical at all for a “fast” use. ooo

So, my point / question here is that I’m thinking about removing the box from under the bonnet, leaving the space free for building something capable to hold the tools’ bags I have now in the back boot. Then I’ll liberate almost the whole boot for luggage or more day-to-day stuff. I’ve seeing in many posts related to the tools to take with you in the M3W, that some of you have build this kind of plater, basket or similar recipients where you carry your tools under the bonnet. And in such a way that you avoid burns from the hot oil tank.

Please be so kind to show me what you’ve done so I have a realistic idea of how and what to do under the bonnet if I remove my storage locker.

Thanks in advance! cheers

Apologies for resurrecting a four year old thread but this seems like the right place to stick the under bonnet storage bin a friend made for my 3 wheeler.

I couldn't be happier with the result

I like the idea that I might be able to narrow down a source of the rattling to the dashboard. I'm confident that we didn't make things worse by adding this storage bin. It does seem weird that this wasn't an OE option. It's the ideal place to stash a bunch of random stuff that otherwise has nowhere to go.
