Opinions wanted - OTR bashplate tool box

Hi folks!

I've just been chatting with Thorsten at OTR and he is playing around with some designs for a tool-box/container as an accessory to fit on his sump-guard on the Tenere.

If you look at the CAD drawing below, you can see he has addressed the main issue owners of the Touratech bash-plate have, that is access to the compartment itself:



Instead of having a top hinged lid (that fouls on the exhausts), he has put the pivot further down, so the whole container pivots downwards, and basically rests on the ground once it's been opened - giving full access to the interior (to get at all those Smarties that have shaken themselves out of the packet en route - yummy!)

I've suggested using two clasps (they will be lockable btw.) for safety - just incase one ever failed or broke - this is vastly more important than with a top hinged lid design of course; and that the capacity ought to be at least 3 litres or more, so you could put in a water bladder (MSR/Ortlieb bag type) for us rally types...

So, what do you think? - and more importantly, would you buy one?
