Stupid question but where in the boot do they get stored?

Should it have a plastic case?

Any pics of where it should be?

Thanks

Fook sake Daz,should of seen that coming eh :roll:

Lordschleife,was going to put it there but cant see it fitting cause the wheel chock thingy and aftermarket first aid kit are jammed in there.

I happen to have the piece of trim that you need for your boot in which to store the warning triangle and first aid kit.

I assume it fits over on the right somewhere, but I have never been able to work out where, on account of the battery being there :mad:

If anyone is interested then the best bid secures winkeye

I also have a warning triangle in the original yellow case, but there is a slight bit of damage to the metal frame for the triangle.

I will have to get some pics taken of it mate at the weekend, can't be arsed raking through the garage now looking for it, but it ain't box like mate, more like a moulded carpeted bit of plastic where presumably the first aid kit slots and then the triangle.

Anyone got a pic of their boot with such items in situ? I may be talking shite if the thing you are after is a box then mate

There should be a cover on the battery, then sat on top of that a plastic holder that houses the 1st aid kit and triangle, and some more cubby holes.

The 2 are held together by a small screw and nut with an expanding rubber bush.

318is batteries are in the front. mine does not have the cover on the side either ( obv missing).

my triangle is sitting behnind my medikit vertically in the large square space at the far right of these cubby holes if that make sense?
