Alright guys and gals. I've been searching for a small box to mount in the secondary battery tray location. I wanted something that provided both form and function. Tried a few ammo boxes and a few different tool boxes but nothing to my liking. Finally found a dude on etsy selling hand made aluminum lunch boxes. Similar to old school miner's lunch boxes used in the 20s and 30s. Anyways, I found the box here

For mounting it, I just used magnets.

Looks super cool and functions as I wanted: that is, a place for some rags, funnel and a small tool kit.

Enjoy

That's cool. Expensive, but cool. So the regular size of lunch box fits and you can open the lid and use the latch okay?

And what kind of magnets did you use? You just lay them in the lunchbox and they hold securely through the aluminum to steel tray?
I appreciate the help.... like the idea!

Yes Sir. Ordered some strong neodymium magnets from Amazon. They magnetized through the aluminum and onto the magnets I installed in the tray. See picture 2.
