Storage Solutions

[Tyson]

We are all aware of the lack of storage space in a Westfield so what do you do when you need to travel a distance? I am thinking about fitting some sort of  waterproof bag to the roll bar and sitting behind the head rests.

Any ideas?

What have you done in the past?

This was my storage solution when we went down to Monaco

 

Between the 2 bags there is a rack which I brought off a guy that makes them on here 

 

Hope this helps

We went to Le Mans with the large stuff strapped where the spare wheel would go. Lots of bungees and never a problem. Everything wrapped and taped into garden grade heavy duty green sacks.

I was thinking of fitting a top box to the cage when it's fitted

I use one of Paul Ash's racks. It works very well for lashing down those extra items and 2 cases of beer fit perfectly for the drive home from LeMans

theres loads of places to fit tools etc once you start looking ie.inside spare wheel. jack under the rear arch chassis rail. loads of room under the bonnet. then places under the dash.  and once thats all used stack it up on the boot boot.

i made a frame that sat over the rear wheel and had 3 shelves one behind wheel and one either side above the lights.it took all my camping gear no problem

I agree with Pete, for my trip to France I had cans of oil and coolant sat on the scuttle under the bonnet and cable tied to the side of the battery

Would be alot tidier than bags strapped everywhere. And you could soon remove it when you get where your going

I cut a sheet of plywood to fit over the boot box but under the boot tonneau cover.  I can now put bags etc directly on top of the boot box without it falling through the tonneau cover.

I use a Ali box made to sit on the spare wheel holder. I lined the back with carpet, to rest against the tub. U bolts tightened on the inside of the box and going around the wheel bracket.

200mmx1000mmx450mm made from 2mm Ali

It's thin and long... But worked well and a mate wanted it for his Robin Hood, swapped for full webber service, oil/filter and plugs for engine service.

Here is my homemade boot bag

 

Secret glove box comes in handy as well:

 

 

Oh b*****k* there goes my secret

Big Ortlieb dry bags, strapped on to the roll bar has worked for me. If you evict your passenger, then they can go in their footwell and seat!

Everyone going to that weekend's track would drop off wheels, jerry cans, tool boxes etc.
