First Aid Boxes

Today I installed first aid boxes under both seats to add a bit of storage. If you only want to install one storage box use half the parts listed below.

Parts:
52 10 7 045 018 Bracket ( x 2 )
52 10 7 044 958 First Aid Box Empty ( x 2 )
72 12 8 235 266 Screws ( x 6 )

First up I lined the insides with Prestofelt, I got the idea from Jim Millet in this thread. I used Cocoa Brown to match my dark brown interior.



Then I installed the brackets in the seats. Be aware that the screws are really hard to put in at first, it almost feels like they're the wrong size. To put in the two front screws I recommend you lift the seat as high as it goes, to put in the back screw you want to lower it, the bar that controls the angle of the seat is in the way and makes it difficult. After a bit of fussing I finally had them all in.

And here's the final result.
