I ts so straight forward I'll try not to insult anyone with a brief description of what to do with your collection of bits. I measured and cut the angle to make a bracket that ran 300mm along the length of the tube. This left room to allow the end cups to be attached. B olting the angle loosely to my sump guard, then feeding the 5'' clips at a equal spaces through the angle before tightening. The tube was put into position running centrally on the mounting bracket. Once tightened into place, I attached the end bungs. I think for £35 I ended up with a useful sized Tool Tube that can be positioned in an out of the way place. Even in a prime rock and stone impact area, I think the Tube is strong enough and should survive off road conditions. Only time will tell. I plan to take "Little Rouge". As my CRF250L is becoming known East next year, I guess time will tell on this idea too. MEM If you have an 'in the shed' idea then let us know - [email protected]
