Tool Tube

Post by RiftonRoadster »

After relocating canister under the tank I thought that space might be good for something else. I picked this canister
up at a yard sale and thought it would be a good tool tube. It fits nicely behind the bag. Bracket is something I had
laying around. Lid is held in place by 2 external hitch pins (or something like that) Home Depot 39 cents.
The official name for the can is a 4 reel 35mm developing tank made by Nikor/honeywell.
One can be found here:

Great Idea, nice to have a place for small things you hope you never need, but have them if you do. Thanks for the idea!!!

So clever! I may have to use this idea, haven't had a good spot for tools since I stuck the power commander under the rear seat.

This looks so much nicer than the tractor manual tubes I just got for my weestrom!. Did you seal the lid or will it still pour and take in water? I like my tools shiny dry and non-rusted.
