Fold down Tool Tray in Engine Compartment (June 2009)

It seems that whatever job there is to do in the engine compartment it takes many tools. There is no place to put them and they keep dropping and hiding. We made a small, fold down tray for the starboard wall of the compartment.

The picture on the left shows it in use with a few tools. There is a foam rubber pad banded to the bottom of the tray to stop the tools from sliding around. In the right hand picture, the tray is folded up and out of the way. The engine compartment removable shelf is in place for this picture. The tray has plastic, ball type, friction latch to hold it in the up position. This has proven itself to be quite handy while work is being done.
