I wanted to mount a tool tube too, but i could find one cheap, so i bought a water can..

some pics to give ideas

enjoy

Just put down an order for ONE OF THESE myself and would be interested to see where others have mounted theirs. Pictures anyone?

Tool tube from ebay / adventurespec with a made up bracket.

Any use?

That bracket is great, i assume you made it yourself ?

Aye another example of me attacking steel with a grinder and hoping I still have all my fingers left at the end of it.

Front mount onto MTC single can supplied bracket. From memory some spacers needed to keep the bracket 'straight' with the line of the bike.

Hey, great stuff. I guess I'll have to get my hands dirty and try something similar. Seing as how it has two mounting points I guess it's stable enough as well?

Very strong. Make a pattern up with card first to get the mounting holes positioned correctly.
Others have them mounted off pannier racks. I don't use panniers so had to come up with something.

So, I just got mine mounted.

Not the prettiest around for sure, but it's well solid.

I couldn't use your bracket fiddich because I need the mount for my stock panniers (until I save up for some new ones). So here is what I came up with

Symmetrical? No
Pretty? No
Sticks in place and carries tools? Yes!
