    Show me your engine bay!

    Hello all.
    I'm dead keen on tidying up the electricals under the bonnet of my '97 TB42e GQ and restoring a bit of order. What I'm looking for is clever ways of mounting fuse boxes etc in the engine bay as the space under the hood of a TB42 is limited.
    Please share your ideas......I'm looking for inspiration (have you knocked up custom brackets etc), especially from petty owners but diesels are all good too.

    1997 GQ Patrol RX, TB42E. Mods: OME 2" lift, 33" BFG KM2'S, ARB winch bar & reconditioned X9 Superwinch, IPF 900 spotties HID conversion, ARB side steps and scrub bars, Kaymar rear step & spare wheel carrier & jerry holder, Rear 55W LED worklight, Safari Snorkel, 147L LRA tank, Extended diff breathers, dual batteries, GME UHF, Home built drawer and fridge slide, ARB 60L fridge.

    Lol, here's mine. The pic is from this forum but I know that if you google image "tb42 engine bay" then mines the third pic! So I just did that.
