[@justanotherfellaliving5171]

another excellent d.i.y mate 🤝 would you consider do led lights and footbrake lights?

[@arcgarage]

Thank you, will cover that in the future

[@OKHansen]

Nice and simple.
I like it!
My G is a bit different. It's made with a hole for the GPS to sit in front of that compartment. I can't even open that compartment... I don't know if it's supposed to be like that, or it's just broken?

[@arcgarage]

Thanks. If it has factory gps it is not the same

[@OKHansen]

@@arcgarage Well there is no GPS in it now.
I believe there is room for the plug-in GPS. But I don't have a GPS unit. Not that I want one.
But I would like the cubby hole tho

[@alainbauristhene6427]

​@@OKHansenI have the same as yours and it has the GPS unit but it doesn't work wonder and it doesn't open either

[@sagifern4444]

Great solution !!! i didnt understand one part: what is the purpose of the 2 coil springs you added at the back ?

[@arcgarage]

Thanks, to push the lid up

[@sagifern4444]

@@arcgarage isnt that the purpose of the torsion spring ?

[@arcgarage]

@@sagifern4444 That's what broke it in the first place

[@idlethumbs01]

Wow, it would cost £100+ for a replacement storage box. I'm going to do this tomorrow. Cheers buddy

[@arcgarage]

Go for it, cheers

[@MrLaloudas]

Excellent! Could you tell us the length and the outer diameter of the springs please?

[@arcgarage]

Thanks, sadly I didn't measure them

[@MrLaloudas]

OK, anyway thanks for you idea.!

[@andygriffiths9916]

Mine will not open. 😬

[@ZafiraSteve]

Somebody has glued it closed

[@MrRepublicking]

Mine was also glued closed. Forced it open, attached a new clip, and now it opens and closes normally. 👍
