No where to put garlic up front?

[GregInAtl]

After losing bottles from the trolling tray, and nowhere close to keep them w/in reach, I came up w/ this idea. Fiberglass a "pod" to attach in an area out of the way.
pic one;
Card board template taped up to test size and location.


next, I laid fiberglass directly over the cardboard template (After I duct taped the whole thing to act as mold release) After curing I popped the cardboard out from below it and added another layer inside for strength.
Next I grinded it and wiped bondo over the whole thing and sanded w/ 40 grit to get an approx shape and test fit again;


Now I have fiberglassed "L": brackets to the back to use 3M 2 sided tape to attach to the console side;


Hole is cut to fit my bottle, and was cut big to allow carper to roll over in the hole for a snug fit. Then covered;


I'll post pics once installed in a day or two.

MERRY CHRISTMAS...go build something!

Very nice job. Looks awesome

For a slightly less professional look I use a shower caddy to keep all the things I need to get to quickly close at hand. Fits nicely in the space just forward of the console on my 2000 ZX 185 and is secured with velcro.

Two outstanding ideas - great thinking men!!!

Thx guys, I did this for $0 outta pocket, everything was already in my garage, so I thought what the heck...may as well try it!

I took a plastic Folgers coffee can, cut a hole in the middle and stuck my seat post through it, holds garlic, pliers, sunblock, scissors and whatever else I need.

I like the home made version as well, nice work.

And the shower caddy is a good call as well.

I just use Velcro. The kind with the sticky stuff on one side.
