After much searching and debating I have finally bought storage for my boot I originally got an old suit case but it seemed just to big so I looked in to ammo boxes after some suggestions from the page, wasnt to sure about the 30 cal and 50cal boxes as they were tall and skinny but i finally found these ex military wooden ammo boxes used to store ammo in the warehouse £17 each and are very solid I like them rather alot [frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Hi,
They look really good.
You are right, it is all too easy to fill the otherwise quite roomy (IMO) Minor boot, I need to rationalize my boot contents at some point............ (mini garage at present!! )
As to BMC's border crossings, I wouldn't blame the Scots if they did vote for independence from Westminster's liars!
Best wishes,
Mike.

1970 Triumph Herald 1200: "Hetty" -- Driven back from Llangollen in Wales (twice.....)
1952 Morris Minor MM highlight with sidevalve engine still fitted, wants work, so joins the queue for now......

haha yeah i think the boot is a lovely size but its just the curve that stops bigger things fitting in, ive seen the special boot lid but its not to my taste and these have all my tools in one and in the other is my parts still to fit and my wd40 industrial size, rust repair cans and things but once ive finished the big jobs ill be emptying that box and it can be used for other things also they are stack able ;) and haha yeah i know what you mean mine was just untidy and not a boot to be proud of
