Back in the day................. the cars used to have a metal box under the bonnet to put tools and the jack etc in........

I've been looking for some sort of metal, or possibly wooden box to put under the bonnet to store all the bits that were in the crap tool tray under the rear panel.
I keep the jack and a hammer under the spare wheel so it doesn't have to be huge....... screwdrivers, fuses, bulbs etc etc are my plan......

I thought I might stick it with double sided tape or mega velcro to the panel, drivers side, not too close to the air intake.

So...... the question is....................

Does anyone know of a suitable box to put a few bits in, that will work for what I want to achieve..............???????

Or...........have you done it.......?????

I fitted a TOYO T190 box. It's plenty big enough for a couple of screw drivers, an adjustable wrench, pliers, lots of zip ties, a match box full of fuses, tape, some rubber gloves and a rag.
It's fixed on with stick on velcro.
I always carry my 'Malvern spec' swiss army knife.....!!!!

Gratuitous garage photo to finish now I've finally mastered posting the damn things.....!!!!
